Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support



Elena integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy into her online practice. CBT helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to build practical coping skills. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that supports a person in discovering their own reasons for change, often useful when facing addiction or ambivalence about goals. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and small, achievable steps to create forward momentum during life transitions and problem-solving.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Elena works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can evolve as progress is made and circumstances change.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to connect with licensed professionals from different locations and on flexible schedules. These formats support consistent work on goals, allow sessions to fit around daily responsibilities, and help people maintain therapeutic momentum during periods of change.
