About Aldemar

His practice addresses a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, ADHD, grief, and relationship and intimacy issues.
Aldemar uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He listens first, then helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Together they set small goals and try out changes that fit daily life.
Background and approach
He draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based strategies to keep therapy useful and goal-focused. Many people come to him feeling overwhelmed by stress, parenting strain, mood swings, or grief. He also helps those coping with addiction, anger, codependency, or problems with communication and attachment.
Sessions aim to reduce symptoms and build clearer routines and responses that feel manageable. Across his work Aldemar emphasizes personal strengths and real-world tools. He helps clients break big problems into small steps, practice new behaviors, and track what works.
He also pays attention to how past hurts shape current relationships and emotion patterns. Practical matters are part of his approach. Sessions can be by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules.
New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling based on availability.
Approach and online care tailored to your needs
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting controlled by them, then choose actions that match personal values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by shifting attention toward meaningful behavior rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable feeling.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) aims to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with clearer routines and healthier habits. It is useful for mood disorders, ADHD-related challenges, anxiety, and addiction because it breaks problems into concrete steps to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to each person's goals, needs, and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can include mixing techniques from different approaches when that fits the client.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a work break or require less bandwidth, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing, shorter exchanges between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep regular contact when progress is being made.
