Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people connect to their values and take small actions even when thoughts and feelings are uncomfortable. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and problems that involve avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people improve trust, closeness, and communication in important relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Yanina will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit those needs. The plan evolves over time and is adjusted based on what helps most.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging gives practical flexibility. Video sessions let people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life while working with licensed professionals.
