Background and approach

Enrique uses straightforward tools to build coping skills and restore energy for everyday life. Work on goals can include exploring career changes, clarifying values, or handling pressure from work and home. He also helps people facing grief, addiction concerns, anger, and low mood.

Enrique pays attention to issues like fatherhood, caregiver strain, guilt, and multicultural stressors when they come up. Therapeutic methods come from cognitive-behavioral ideas, solution-focused steps, and narrative approaches to life stories. He blends these to create brief, useful practices people can try between sessions.

Motivational interviewing is used when clients want to make concrete changes. Enrique aims for conversations that feel practical and hopeful. He supports people who want clearer choices about career and life purpose.

Sessions are offered in English and reflect his experience helping adults navigate transitions and build healthier routines.

Practical approaches for online counseling

Enrique uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. This approach breaks problems into clear steps and teaches skills to use between sessions.

He also draws on motivational interviewing to support people who want to change habits or make career moves. That method focuses on building personal motivation and setting realistic next steps. Narrative therapy is used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and to try new, more helpful ways of understanding past events.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. Enrique works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. He will adjust techniques over time as progress and priorities change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are practical for quick check-ins, short coaching, or steady support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for work, caregiving schedules, and busy days.
