About Ciro

Dr. Ciro Visone is a psychologist practicing in California with ten years of experience. He combines a focus on brain-related factors with attention to life meaning when supporting people through mental health and behavioral challenges. He works in English and Italian and brings a clinical background that considers biological, psychological, and social influences on behavior.

He helps people manage problems such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating and body-image concerns, and addictions. He also sees individuals coping with ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, sleep problems, grief, and stress from life transitions. His approach pays attention to how medical issues, chronic pain, and aging can affect thinking and day-to-day functioning.

In sessions he draws on techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with Client-Centered and Jungian perspectives. This means conversations often include practical strategies for current problems, attention to personal values and meaning, and exploration of deeper life themes when useful.

Dr. Visone adapts work to each person’s background and needs. He emphasizes helping people regain a sense of autonomy and purpose while addressing biological contributors to mood and behavior. Sessions tend to blend skill-building, problem solving, and reflection about life choices.

People who want direct, brain-informed care that also looks at life meaning may find this style helpful. Those interested in working with him begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session according to his availability.

Therapeutic approaches suitable for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions that match those values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by teaching ways to live around difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to change behavior. It is often used for anxiety, mood disorders, sleep issues, and coping with life stressors. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's perspective and fosters a supportive environment for self-directed change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and specific concerns and then collaborate on which methods to try first. That choice can be adjusted as therapy progresses to better match what helps you most.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, help reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find video useful for face-to-face interaction, while others prefer audio for a quicker session that uses less bandwidth. The focus will remain on practical strategies and values-based work that translate into everyday routines.
