Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Marina uses several evidence-informed approaches to help clients work through difficult emotions and life challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life - it can be helpful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often effective for depression, sleep problems, and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist supports the client's own capacity for growth and self-understanding - it can be especially useful for building self-esteem and navigating interpersonal concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marina collaborates with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting the plan as needed so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - sessions can occur via video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to work around work, family, or mobility constraints. These options increase accessibility and allow continuity of care so clients can focus on progress in the mode that works best for them.
