Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Agustin uses Existential Therapy to help people examine meaning, values, and choices when life feels empty or confusing. This approach is useful for questions about purpose, loss, and major life transitions. He also employs Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting a person's own capacity to find solutions and build confidence.

He integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT offers clear steps people can practice between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Together, these approaches balance big-picture reflection with hands-on tools.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Agustin will talk with people about their needs, goals, and preferences and then shape the plan collaboratively. He adjusts pace and methods so the work fits each person's situation rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people see each other for deeper conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or shorter appointments that fit a busy schedule. These options make it easier to maintain regular work on goals across day-to-day life.
