Background and approach

Sessions tend to focus on what is most pressing for the person. He uses clear tools and conversational techniques rather than jargon. Many clients find that having straightforward steps to try between sessions is helpful.

His clinical approach draws from several therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy. He also uses Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy when those methods fit. These approaches inform how he helps people build coping skills, change unhelpful patterns, and make meaning of difficult experiences.

Teodoro has additional focus on first responder issues, immigration and multicultural concerns. He also supports people facing parenting and family challenges, relationship strain, grief, and work-related stress. The goal is practical progress in everyday life rather than abstract theory.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are framed to match each person’s needs and preferences. Teodoro aims to be collaborative and direct, helping clients set clear goals and try small, doable changes between meetings.

How his approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. It centers the person’s goals and values and helps when someone needs support talking through decisions or changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and some eating or substance use concerns because it gives clear skills to practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Then he will suggest methods and adjust them over time so the work fits the person’s life and needs.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options let people fit appointments around work, family, or busy schedules and keep continuity when travel or relocation occurs. Many clients use a mix of formats depending on what they need that week.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
