About Ciro

Dr. Ciro Visone draws on a decade of clinical experience and an MD to bring a neuroscience-informed perspective to psychological care.

Background and approach

He works from a biopsychosocial framework, weaving attention to biological influences with psychological and social factors to understand presenting concerns. His practice addresses a broad array of difficulties, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating and mood disorders, ADHD, addictions, grief, sleep problems, and challenges around self-esteem and life purpose.

He emphasizes tailoring treatment to each person, taking cultural and individual differences into account while supporting growing autonomy and self-direction. Treatment often explores how past experiences shape current patterns and how addressing biological contributors can complement psychological work.

Dr. Visone integrates cognitive behavioral techniques alongside acceptance-oriented and depth-oriented approaches to help clients develop practical skills and clarify meaning in their lives.

He offers services in English and Italian and maintains a California-based practice.

Approaches that guide online work and support

Dr. Visone uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop concrete strategies to change them; this approach is often useful for anxiety, mood disorders, and coping with stress. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values, practice acceptance of difficult feelings, and take committed actions that align with what matters most; ACT can be helpful when clients struggle with avoidance or are seeking greater meaning and direction.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. He aims to work with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their goals, preferences, and life context, adjusting the focus as therapy progresses to reflect what proves most helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care alongside work, family, and other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing skill-building, reflection, and therapeutic support across different modes of connection.
