Online support

How Alejandro’s approaches translate to online therapy

Alejandro draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and shift core emotional patterns that show up in close relationships. EFT focuses on feelings and connection and can help with intimacy problems and relationship distress.

He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to teach practical skills for accepting difficult thoughts and committing to value-driven action, which helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to understand how early relationship experiences shape current bonds and to build more supported ways of relating.

Choosing a therapy approach is a team effort. Alejandro will talk about your goals, try approaches that fit your needs, and adjust based on what helps most. The first few sessions often involve figuring out which methods feel most useful and workable for you.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you see visual cues during deeper conversations. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you want to be off camera. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or more frequent, shorter contact. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and stay connected from different locations.
