Approaches and how online therapy can help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and then take meaningful action based on their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and trust, which can help with intimacy, abandonment issues and communication problems. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a non-judgemental, empathic space where people can explore their feelings and find their own solutions, useful for building self-esteem and clarity.Ana-Maria will work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. She listens to your goals and preferences and adjusts methods as therapy progresses. Deciding which approaches to use is part of the work itself, and she helps clients test what fits and what does not.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are close to a face-to-face session and suit deeper work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can be a shorter check-in or a way to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep to a regular schedule and to access support from different locations.
