How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Reynaldo describes using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach is focused conversation and behavioral experiments - identifying a pattern, testing small changes between sessions, and reviewing what worked. This helps with anxiety, depression, addictive behavior, and day-to-day stress.Another helpful method is attachment-focused work, which looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions. It involves noticing recurring interaction styles and practicing different responses to reduce cycles of shame, abandonment fears, or control struggles.
Finding the best approach is part of the process. He will work collaboratively to pick methods that fit a person’s goals and preferences, and adjust them as progress unfolds. The therapist and client decide together which techniques to try and how quickly to move.
