Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Anna integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a client-centered orientation to tailor support to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking steps toward a more meaningful life - it is often used for anxiety, stress and living with long-term conditions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain problems and working on practical strategies to change them - it is commonly applied to anxiety, low mood and challenging daily habits. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-directive relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports the client's own capacity for growth and self-understanding.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Anna works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods feel most helpful based on the client's goals, preferences and presenting concerns, and she adjusts the approach as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from different locations. These formats can support consistent progress while accommodating different communication styles and scheduling needs.
