Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Elena uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values, notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and take steps toward a more meaningful life. ACT is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and situations where avoidance has become a barrier to living fully.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, goal-focused approach that identifies unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and teaches strategies to change them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns and can help with concentration and coping skills.
Mindfulness Therapy is woven into her work to support present-moment awareness, reduce reactivity, and improve emotional regulation. Mindfulness practices can complement other therapies and are helpful for stress, anxiety, and attention difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Elena treats that as a collaborative effort. She works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adapting methods as needs evolve.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or mobility challenges. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy schedules, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
