About Federico
In sessions he focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through painful memories and current struggles. He helps people sort out issues tied to attachment, abandonment, codependency, and family of origin patterns. People also come to him for help with body image, eating-related concerns, caregiver stress, and chronic illness or pain.
Federico pays attention to practical coping skills as well as the stories that shape self-esteem and relationships. He supports clients working through avoidant or dependent personality patterns, control issues, and feelings of emptiness. He also addresses fatherhood issues and forgiveness when those topics come up in work together.
Sessions include collaborative goal-setting and regular check-ins on progress. Federico encourages straightforward discussion about what is and isn’t helping, then adjusts the plan with the client. He frames therapy as a step-by-step process rather than a quick fix.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's listed availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work can look like
Federico uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that blend practical skill teaching with attention to relationship patterns. One common approach focuses on teaching concrete coping strategies for anxiety and stress, such as grounding, scheduling, and brief behavioral experiments to test unhelpful beliefs. These techniques help people manage symptoms and build predictable routines.Another strand of his work centers on attachment-focused conversation. This involves looking at how early relationships shape current trust, intimacy, and dependency, and then practicing new ways of relating to yourself and others. That kind of work is often helpful for people dealing with abandonment, codependency, or avoidant tendencies.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is observed. Clients are invited to share what feels most useful so treatment stays practical and relevant.
If you want to try online sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time so sessions feel easier to keep. Ask about the available session setup when you complete the matching questionnaire.
