Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and when someone wants to rebuild a life guided by purpose rather than avoidance.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical behavioral changes. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and improving coping strategies.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) offers a structured way to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity, which can be especially helpful for trauma and abuse survivors.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Anna works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adapts strategies over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy provides flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care from different locations. These options can increase accessibility and support consistent work toward goals with licensed professionals and therapists.
