Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care
Elina Malamud integrates evidence-based methods to help clients build coping skills and move toward valued goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with personal values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and supports the client's own capacity for growth; this approach is helpful for building self-esteem and processing relationship or identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and practice practical strategies to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mood difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Elina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions to the individual so treatment feels practical and meaningful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage sessions from different locations, and maintain continuity during life changes. These options support accessibility and allow therapists and clients to focus on progress and real-world application of skills.
