How Ricardo’s Approaches Work Online

Ricardo commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in his online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavior experiments to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change habits. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while taking steps that match their values, which can be useful for stress, addiction, and avoidance patterns.

He also applies attachment-informed ideas to understand how close relationships affect emotions and reactions. That perspective is useful when working through trust issues, intimacy problems, jealousy, and family-related stress. Together these approaches give clear tools and a way to make small, practical changes during everyday life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ricardo will talk with clients about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. He checks progress and adjusts the plan over time so sessions stay useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is helpful for in-depth work and visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text sessions suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules.
