About Livia Maria Nestianu
Livia Maria Nestianu trained initially in psychology before moving into counselling and psychotherapy, and she works as an integrative counsellor who adapts to each person's individuality. She blends multiple methods and theoretical perspectives to meet the needs of the person in front of her, drawing on person-centered practice, attachment theory, cognitive behavioural techniques, and compassion-focused ideas to shape sessions around what is most helpful.
Her meetings are designed as a calm and supportive space where someone can explore different parts of themselves and speak openly about difficulties they are facing. Through gentle, collaborative conversation she helps people make sense of patterns, process challenging experiences, and take practical steps toward change. The emphasis is on meeting clients where they are and tailoring the therapeutic approach to support ongoing personal growth and the work of therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to commit to actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and situations where avoidance has become limiting.Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses. It is helpful for people working through relationship struggles, attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, or difficulties forming close connections.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on offering an empathic, non-judgemental environment where the client leads the pace and direction of sessions. This approach supports self-exploration and builds self-understanding, especially for those navigating life changes, stress, or identity questions.
Livia approaches the choice of method collaboratively, helping each person find the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She works with clients to blend approaches as appropriate so the therapy matches what is most useful for their situation.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer to work from home. These options make it easier to maintain regular appointments, access care from different locations within the therapist's service area, and continue progress in a format that suits the client's life and communication style.
