CBT-informed Care and Flexible Online Sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and then test and change those patterns through targeted behavioral strategies. It is often used to address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and patterns that maintain distress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mario Palacios works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure that therapy feels relevant and achievable.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to continue work when attending in person is difficult. These options support consistent access to licensed professionals and allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that suit their daily lives.
