How his approaches translate to online work
Dr. San Filippo uses client-centered ideas alongside cognitive-behavioral and trauma-focused methods. Client-centered work means conversations begin by focusing on what matters most to the person and building trust before moving to specific goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process traumatic experiences safely and build resilience.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. He will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This may mean combining mindfulness, CBT techniques, and trauma-focused steps over time rather than sticking to a single label.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can make it simpler to keep regular appointments, add short check-ins, or avoid travel time.
