  2. How Pedro’s approaches translate to online work

    Pedro draws from Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change and build momentum toward goals. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on what matters to the client and uses active listening to clarify feelings and choices. CBT looks at current thoughts and behaviors and introduces practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns.

    Finding the right approach is part of the process. Pedro will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. The approach can be adjusted as work progresses and goals evolve.

    Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and making it easier to keep regular appointments. If you want to know which session formats are offered, please confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help them stay consistent with short check-ins or longer weekly sessions, and this can make it easier to apply skills between meetings.
