Approaches in therapy and how online sessions work
Vania draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and develop practical ways to live in alignment with those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions because it emphasizes action alongside acceptance.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns in close relationships and to strengthen emotional connection and safety. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues, and concerns that stem from early attachment experiences.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Vania collaborates with each client to identify which strategies fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adapts methods over time as those needs evolve.
Online therapy with Vania is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access support from home or while traveling, and they allow licensed professionals to work with clients across distances while focusing on practical progress and emotional support.
