Background and approach

Sessions are shaped around what the client needs, not a one-size-fits-all script. In sessions he helps clients sort through difficult feelings like guilt and shame and work toward forgiveness when that fits their goals. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and build skills for day-to-day life.

Expect clear steps and practical strategies you can try between meetings. Patxi offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This flexibility helps people fit therapy into busy schedules and different time zones.

He encourages anyone feeling stuck to take a small first step, such as completing a short matching questionnaire. From there he and the client schedule sessions and shape a plan that matches the client’s concerns and pace.

Practical approaches for online relationship and family work

Patxi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-world change. One approach emphasizes skill-building for communication and anger management, teaching specific tools to calm heated moments and express needs clearly. This helps when arguments escalate or frustration is getting in the way of relationships.

Another thread of his work targets difficult feelings like guilt and shame and supports steps toward forgiveness when a client wants that. This involves paced conversations, reflecting on choices, and creating manageable actions to repair or move forward from past hurts. These methods suit people who want concrete next steps rather than long theoretical talks.

Choosing the right way to work together is collaborative. He will talk with each client about their goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust the plan over time. The process is about finding what helps the individual feel steadier and more capable day to day.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a check-in needs to be quick. Live chat or text messaging offer shorter, flexible exchanges for brief updates or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, travel schedules, and different time zones.
