Background and approach
Additional focus areas include immigration issues, gender dysphoria, intellectual disability, and process addictions like gambling or pornography. He adapts his approach to the problem someone brings to the session. His style emphasizes clear goals and practical strategies.
Sessions mix talking through what’s happening now with tools to cope between meetings. He keeps plans simple so clients can try new skills without overwhelm. Oscar uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
He works at a pace set by the client and checks in often to make sure the plan still fits. Small changes over time are the aim, with steady support along the way. People who prefer direct guidance combined with empathy may find his approach helpful.
He frames progress as a series of doable steps and helps clients track how those steps change day-to-day life.
How CBT and DBT work in online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions typically involve identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety, depression, panic, or problematic habits.DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. In remote DBT-informed work, clients learn skills to manage strong emotions, reduce self-harm urges, and handle conflict more effectively.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then choose or combine techniques that fit. Plans are adjusted over time based on what works for the client and what feels doable in daily life.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and have longer, in-depth conversations. Phone sessions can be a good alternative when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when a shorter touchpoint fits into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep up with therapy while balancing work, family, or other obligations.
