Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals and experiences lead the work. It helps people build self-awareness, confidence, and clearer direction by prioritising empathy and collaboration.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and problems with motivation or compulsive habits.

Existential Therapy explores questions about meaning, responsibility, and life choices, helping clients navigate transitions, purpose, and values when facing uncertainty.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jorge works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He draws from different models to tailor sessions rather than applying a single template.

Online therapy with Jorge is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions around work or family commitments, and access support from home while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt their methods for effective remote work.
