His background includes long-term clinical experience working across many concerns such as depression, addictions, grief, eating issues, parenting strain, and career stress. He also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment challenges, gender dysphoria, immigration-related stress, and end-of-life matters. That range informs a flexible approach in session.
Therapeutic methods include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, existential thinking, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. These approaches are used to help people explore values, shift unhelpful habits, and solve immediate problems.
Agustin aims to create straightforward sessions where people can talk through what matters, set realistic goals, and try new patterns between visits. He supports people who want clearer direction, stronger self esteem, and better ways to cope with life changes.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy places the client's experience at the center. The therapist listens closely, reflects what he hears, and helps people name their priorities so they can guide the work. This approach fits concerns like self esteem and relationship issues where being heard matters.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It uses short exercises and practical homework to change patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or trouble managing impulses. That can be helpful for stress, addictions, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to a person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can shift as needs change over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full session is not possible. It also lets people use different techniques at home between visits, such as worksheets or behavioral experiments, to keep progress moving forward.
