Therapeutic Approaches Applied to Online Care
Alena often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most to them and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. ACT can be useful for navigating life transitions, persistent stress, and situations where avoidance has limited meaningful engagement. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and adjust unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT is practical for addressing anxiety, low mood, and challenges with self-esteem by building concrete coping skills. In addition, Client-Centered Therapy guides her relational stance, emphasizing empathic listening and collaboration so the client directs the pace and goals of therapy.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Alena works together with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work feels relevant and sustainable.
Online therapy offers flexibility for connecting in ways that match a client’s schedule and comfort level. Alena provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to maintain regular contact, incorporate therapy into busy lives, and choose the communication style that best supports each person’s work. Licensed professionals can deliver effective therapeutic support across these formats while tailoring sessions to individual circumstances.
