Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Victor often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into smaller steps and practicing different responses.He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas when relationship or intimacy issues are central. EFT-style work looks at emotional patterns between partners or within close relationships and helps people recognize and change interaction cycles that cause pain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victor will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Regarding online work, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are set by the therapist. His profile lists voice call (phone/audio) and live chat as available. Many people choose phone sessions when they want a shorter check-in or when they prefer not to be on camera, and live chat can fit into a busy day or be used when typing feels easier than speaking. Online sessions can make it simpler to schedule therapy around classes, work, or other commitments.
