Therapeutic approaches and working online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions and attachment patterns shape close relationships. It helps people name hard-to-recognize feelings and shift interaction patterns that keep them stuck. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection; the therapist offers questions and observations that help a person become more aware of their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills and small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Miguel will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. He mixes techniques when that helps reach concrete goals and checks in regularly to adjust the plan. Please confirm current session options before booking. Sessions are provided via telehealth across Texas, and practical benefits include fitting appointments around work or family time, easier access when travel is difficult, and the ability to choose a shorter check-in when needed. Online sessions can make it simpler to practice skills in everyday settings and bring up issues that arise between sessions for real-time discussion.Areas of expertise
