How CBT and Existential Work Translate to Online Sessions

Dr. De La Loza uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves clear steps, short experiments, and practical homework that fit into daily life. Existential Therapy is about values and meaning; it helps people clarify what matters and make choices that match their priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work with each person to decide whether CBT, existential questions, or a mix fits best. That decision is collaborative and based on the person's goals, preferences, and what feels useful in early sessions.

The biography did not specify session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, cut down travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue steady, goal-focused work even when life circumstances make in-person visits harder.
