Integrating Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Gulsan draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take committed action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings arise - an approach well suited for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns of relating and emotional bonds, which can be especially helpful for relationship, family, and intimacy concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool in her practice, focusing on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gulsan works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds so the work feels relevant and achievable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity across locations and time zones, and access licensed professionals and therapists in a manner that suits individual schedules and comfort levels.
