Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Aleksandr draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - and Existential Therapy as primary approaches in his work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and skill building; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with coping. Existential Therapy explores meaning, values, and personal responsibility, helping people face life transitions, grief, and questions about purpose in a way that supports greater self-understanding.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Aleksandr works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He combines structured techniques with reflective conversation to help clients move forward in ways that feel authentic to them.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access support from licensed professionals without requiring travel, and they allow therapy to fit into busy or changing lives while maintaining a consistent therapeutic process.
