How evidence-based approaches guide online sessions
Marco uses evidence-based therapeutic methods that focus on clear, practical work. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different interpretations; this is useful for anxiety, depression, and persistent guilt. Interpersonal and attachment-focused work looks at how past and current relationships shape emotions and behavior, which can ease loneliness and codependent patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marco will discuss different methods, listen to your goals, and recommend steps that fit your needs and preferences. The plan is collaborative, so you can test what feels most helpful and adjust as you go.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow follow-ups during breaks from work. Some formats let you connect without video, which can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Overall, the online setting aims to make regular appointments simpler to attend while exploring approaches that address guilt, shame, and related concerns.
