Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Elena often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then focus on values-based actions that support meaningful change. ACT can be especially useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life transitions.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, an approach that emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so the individual feels understood and respected while exploring personal goals. This approach supports work on self-esteem, relationship concerns, and decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another frequent tool - it focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elena works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats make it easier to access regular support, keep continuity of care, and engage in therapy from familiar settings while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor the work to each client’s situation.
