About Ciro

Dr. Ciro Visone is a Psychologist licensed in California with ten years of clinical experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, eating and sleep problems, ADHD, addictions, anger, relationship and family concerns, grief, and problems with self-esteem or career direction. He speaks English and Italian and brings a practical, behavior-focused outlook to sessions.

He sees behavior through a biopsychosocial and neuroscience lens, linking life circumstances, brain function, and physical health. That means conversations often cover daily habits, thinking patterns, and how the body responds to stress. He also pays attention to aging and neurocognitive concerns such as memory or attention issues when relevant.

In sessions he uses a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take workable steps. Client-Centered ideas shape the way he listens and responds, and existential and Jungian themes may appear when exploring life purpose and personal meaning.

He describes treatment as adaptive rather than one-size-fits-all. That looks like adjusting strategies to match a person’s goals, culture, and circumstances. Practical skills, short-term behavior plans, and clearer decision-making are common focuses.

People who want conversational, evidence-informed help with anger, impulsivity, or recurring patterns often find this approach direct and structured. The first sessions typically map concerns and set concrete goals to guide follow-up work.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Dr. Visone draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when strong feelings are present. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with practical behavioral experiments to reduce unhelpful reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods together. That collaborative check-in helps shape whether sessions emphasize skills practice, values-guided action, or cognitive restructuring.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow short check-ins during a workday. It can also let a person practice breathing, grounding, or behavior experiments in real-life settings and then talk about what happened in the next meeting.
