About Ciro

Dr. Ciro Visone is a medical doctor with ten years of clinical experience in California. He takes a neuroscience-informed view of behavior and mental health.

He draws on a range of approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, to tailor sessions to each person.

Background and approach

Sessions look at how biology, life events, and personal meaning interact. He pays attention to physical health factors that affect mood and behavior. Dr.

Visone adjusts treatment to individual differences and cultural needs. He aims to help people gain more independence and clarity about what matters to them. Work in therapy includes identifying personal goals and testing small changes in daily routines.

His background includes assessment and work with neurocognitive concerns such as ADHD and memory issues, alongside mood and eating-related problems. He also brings training in existential and Jungian ideas when exploring life purpose and deeper personal themes. Sessions are offered in English and Italian.

He uses common talk-therapy techniques and practical exercises so people can try new coping strategies between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like

Dr. Visone uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday difficulties. He also uses acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and teach willingness to face difficult feelings while taking steps toward a meaningful life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that match a person’s goals, preferences, and situation. Sessions may shift over time as needs change and progress is tracked together.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work between appointments. Practical exercises, homework, and short check-ins can be delivered through messaging or scheduled calls to keep momentum going.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
