Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Yanina often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to identify personal values that guide meaningful action - this approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also draws on attachment-based therapy, which focuses on how early and ongoing relationship patterns shape current emotional responses and connection needs, making it helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another commonly used tool in her practice - it teaches practical strategies to recognize and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to stress, mood problems, and sleep or eating issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Yanina collaborates with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy stays relevant and effective for the individual or family.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules or different time zones. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during transitions and to access licensed professionals from home or elsewhere, while still focusing on the same goals of symptom relief, improved relationships, and stronger coping skills.
