Evidence-based tools and online sessions
Hector commonly uses Solution-Focused techniques and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Solution-Focused work concentrates on small, achievable goals and the steps needed to reach them, which can be useful for people feeling stuck by guilt or shame. Cognitive Behavioral methods look at thought patterns and behaviors, helping to identify and test thoughts that worsen anxiety or self-blame.Choosing an approach is collaborative. He will talk with each person about their difficulties, preferences, and goals and then suggest methods that fit. If one way of working does not feel right, he will adjust the plan together with the client rather than insisting on a single method.

It can also let people work with a therapist who speaks their language even if they live elsewhere.
