Online therapy grounded in practical tools and personal insight
Sergio Rato draws from approaches that help clients understand themselves more clearly while building skills they can use day to day. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, respectful space where clients can explore what they are feeling and what they want, which can be especially helpful during life transitions, relationship stress, or concerns about self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions. It can help clients notice patterns that fuel stress or anxiety and practice new ways of responding that better match their goals. Sergio also integrates Mindfulness Therapy, which encourages greater awareness of the present moment and can support emotional regulation, steadier coping, and more intentional choices in relationships and everyday life.
