Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and build small, practical habits that align with those values. It combines mindfulness and action-oriented exercises to reduce avoidance and increase psychological flexibility, which can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and ongoing relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. By identifying attachment needs and patterns, this approach supports improvements in communication, trust, and intimacy for people struggling with relationship challenges or abandonment fears.

Igor works collaboratively with clients to identify which approach or combination of approaches fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. He treats the selection of therapeutic methods as an evolving conversation, adjusting direction as clients learn more about what helps them make meaningful change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. For many people, remote sessions make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access licensed professionals from home, and practice skills between meetings with real-world support from their therapist.
