He also uses motivational interviewing to build readiness for change and solution-focused work to identify small, immediate goals. Roberto brings 15 years of experience in mental health counseling. He has worked with people from many backgrounds and with a range of concerns.

His style is collaborative, down-to-earth, and goal-oriented. People can meet with him by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location and therapist availability.

Online support

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based ideas focus on how relationships and early patterns shape current feelings and reactions; in sessions this looks like talking about important relationships and noticing how they affect trust and closeness. Client-centered work emphasizes the client's perspective, with the therapist offering empathic listening and reflection to help people understand their own needs and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses clear steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, with homework tasks and short experiments to try between sessions.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with a person about goals and preferences and then tailor techniques from attachment-informed, client-centered, or CBT methods. Changes are paced together and adjusted based on what feels useful for the individual.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging can suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing feels easier for expressing thoughts. These options make it simpler to schedule consistent work and keep progress moving even with a busy life.
