How Angelo Uses Therapeutic Methods Online

Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps clarify priorities and guides decisions about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change those patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression and stress that interfere with daily routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. It can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when communication breaks down.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Angelo will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try techniques that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. The work is practical and goal-oriented, with the therapist and client reviewing what helps and what needs changing.
