Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Ednina Welters draws on several evidence-informed approaches to support clients. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress, and it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients can explore their values and find their own path to growth. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and build practical skills to move toward those values, often supporting coping with difficult feelings and life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ednina works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to adapt methods over time so therapy fits each person’s life and objectives.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility in scheduling and convenient ways to maintain continuity of care. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations while tailoring communication styles to what feels most helpful for each client.
