Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Zhanna Cohen
Zhanna uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals and perspectives guide the work. This approach helps people who need supportive exploration of values, identity, relationships, and life direction. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. CBT is often helpful for depression, anxiety, mood concerns, and practical problem solving. In addition, dialectical behavior therapy provides skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be valuable for managing strong emotions, impulsivity, and relationship struggles.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Zhanna works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to determine which combination of methods best matches a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access therapists from different locations while preserving a consistent therapeutic relationship.
