Enrique offers care in both English and Spanish and aims to meet clients where they are, helping them take manageable steps toward clearer thinking, healthier relationships, and improved coping.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing concrete skills to shift behaviors and emotional responses; it is often used for anxiety, panic, depression, and workplace stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful actions, which can help with avoidance, isolation, and persistent worry. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and respected while exploring their own solutions and goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and how different methods fit their situation, adjusting strategies over time to find what helps most.

Online therapy with Enrique is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access for varying schedules and needs. These formats make it possible to engage in skills practice, reflective conversation, and short check-ins without requiring travel, helping people maintain continuity of care while balancing other responsibilities.
