Therapeutic approaches and online care

Cherena uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT focuses on learning to live with discomfort while pursuing a more fulfilling life, and it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy is another approach Cherena draws on to explore how early relationships influence current patterns of connection, trust, and intimacy. This work can support clients dealing with relationship struggles, abandonment concerns, and attachment-related difficulties by fostering new ways of relating and emotional regulation.

Her work is also informed by client-centered principles that prioritize the individual's experience and collaboration - the therapist listens, reflects, and supports clients in finding their own solutions. Finding the right approach is shared between client and therapist, and Cherena will work together with each person to select methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and choose a format that feels most helpful.
