Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and commit to small steps toward those values. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts while taking action that matches personal goals, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related overwhelm.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. Marcos uses CBT techniques to teach specific skills for managing worry, changing unhelpful thinking, and building routines that reduce stress and improve daily functioning.

Attachment-Based Therapy attends to how past relationships shape present connection and emotional responses. This approach can be useful for relationship struggles, intimacy issues, and people who want clearer emotional safety in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Marcos will talk with each person about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper emotion work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or to fit a break at work. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, tracking skills, or when someone prefers typing to talking. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into a busy life.
