Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options
Approaches that fit your life online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can find their own answers, which helps with low self-worth, identity questions, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors together. It teaches simple exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build better coping skills for anxiety, depression, and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Miguel will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods as progress is made. This collaborative plan helps keep sessions practical and relevant to daily life.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and reading body language. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, short coaching moments, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between sessions.
