How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy
Jorge draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on teaching people specific coping skills for anxiety and panic attacks, such as breathing strategies, grounding exercises, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance. Another approach centers on working through grief and depression by identifying daily routines, small goals, and activities that rebuild a sense of purpose and connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jorge collaborates with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and preferences. He adjusts pacing and strategies over time based on what is helping and what feels manageable in daily life.
