Background and approach
He draws on several practical approaches, including cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses EMDR techniques when trauma memories are getting in the way of day-to-day life. Solution-focused strategies help people build quick, usable steps toward change.
In sessions he listens without judgment and encourages honest talk about difficult feelings. He helps people understand patterns that keep them stuck and tries to make coping skills simple and usable. People who work with Leonardo often find it easier to feel calm and more in control after sessions.
He aims to create a welcoming space where progress is measured in small, achievable changes.
Practical approaches for online healing
Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters to the person. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead, helping people clarify goals and build on their strengths. This approach is useful for stress, relationship worries, and low mood.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, panic, and mood problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend a mix of methods. The plan is collaborative and can be adjusted over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and mirror face-to-face sessions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when being on camera is not desired. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins, quick coping tips, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep continuity when schedules change.
