Evidence-Informed Approaches, Made Accessible Online

In online sessions, Gregory Rico draws from approaches designed to be practical, supportive, and tailored to the person in front of him. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and a steady focus on the client’s perspective, which can be especially helpful when navigating stress, anxiety, relationship strain, or identity-related concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and experimenting with new responses. It can be useful for people who want structure and tools for managing anxious thinking, improving coping skills, and strengthening day-to-day functioning. Solution-Focused Therapy highlights strengths and workable next steps, helping clients clarify what they want to be different and build momentum toward realistic goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gregory works collaboratively with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and then shapes sessions in a way that fits what is most helpful at that time.

Online therapy also makes support easier to access. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, travel, or simply choosing the format that feels most comfortable.
