How evidence-based methods translate to online work

Many of the evidence-based approaches Miguel draws on focus on clear goals and step-by-step practices people can use between sessions. For example, one common technique teaches ways to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach emphasizes processing difficult memories or events in a paced way so that people feel more able to manage triggers and painful emotions.

Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. Miguel will work with each person to figure out which techniques fit their needs and comfort level. He adjusts the plan over time based on how things are going and on the goals a person wants to reach.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work between in-person visits and to try techniques at home when convenient.
