About Hector
Hector focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. He listens first and then works with clients to identify patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions typically include noticing thoughts and behaviors, practicing new ways of responding, and checking what works in daily life.
Many people bring relationship concerns such as communication problems, infidelity, blended family challenges, or divorce and separation. Hector also addresses fatherhood issues, codependency, jealousy, and the strain of isolation or loneliness. He includes process addictions like problematic pornography use, exercise, or gambling when they affect relationships or daily functioning.
Hector uses techniques from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and existential therapy. That mix lets him balance practical skills with discussion about values and life meaning. He often pairs skill work with conversations about goals and purpose.

How Hector uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Hector draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening carefully and reflecting what a person says so they can clarify their own thoughts and feelings. This approach helps when someone is unsure about priorities, values, or life purpose. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to manage stress, anxiety, and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Hector will collaborate with each client to decide which methods to use based on goals, day-to-day needs, and personal preferences. He checks in regularly to see what is helping and adjusts the approach when necessary so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove commute time. It can also make it simpler to continue regular meetings after a life change. Talk with Hector during the matching steps about what will work best for scheduling and session length.
