About Ciro

Dr. Ciro Visone is a Psychologist practicing in California with ten years of experience. He brings a clinical and neuroscience-informed perspective to therapy and focuses on practical ways to manage mood, behavior, and daily functioning. He works in English and Italian and aims to help people find clearer direction when life feels overwhelming.

He often helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and problems with sleep or eating. He also supports people with ADHD, addictions, bipolar mood concerns, and difficulties around self esteem and relationships. His background includes work with aging-related cognitive issues and medical illness adjustment, so he can address the overlap between physical health and mental well-being.

His approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with broader ideas about meaning and life purpose. Sessions focus on noticing what matters to the client, learning skills to change unhelpful patterns, and building practical plans that fit everyday life. Dr. Visone emphasizes adapting interventions to each person’s needs and cultural background.

He frames therapy as collaborative and aims to help people become more autonomous and self-directed. That can mean pacing work differently for someone managing chronic illness or concentrating on practical behavior changes for sleep, eating, or stress. He also attends to how past choices shape current feelings and actions.

People who prefer a thoughtful, goal-oriented therapist may find his style a good fit. Those interested in combining psychological and biological perspectives are likely to appreciate his emphasis on how health and behavior interact.

Approaches that guide online work and decision making

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting hooked by them, then choosing actions that match what matters most. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation when values feel unclear. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience and offering a nonjudgmental space to talk, which supports self-exploration and emotional processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often helping with anxiety, mood, sleep, and eating concerns.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will listen to goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods over time based on what helps. Expect the work to be collaborative, with an emphasis on skills you can use between sessions and on clarifying personal values and life direction.

Confirm current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. It also allows sessions to focus on concrete skills, behavior experiments, and values-driven planning that transfer into daily routines. Licensed professionals can adapt session pace and tools to each person's situation so therapy supports real-world changes without disrupting everyday life.
