Online support

How his approaches work online and in sessions

Dr. Acosta often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name difficult emotions that affect their close relationships. This approach focuses on the emotional experiences that drive patterns in how people connect and respond to one another. Client-Centered Therapy is another strand of his work and emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions through supportive conversation.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and on mindfulness techniques to build present-moment awareness and stress reduction. Together these methods aim to give practical tools for managing anxiety, mood, relationship strain, and life transitions. Deciding which mix fits best is a collaborative process - the therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps most.

Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to schedule regular work and keep progress moving forward.
