Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Karina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered and mindfulness-informed methods to guide her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors - it is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, panic, and mood-related concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and respect, providing a supportive space where clients lead the pace of change and explore values, relationships, and self-esteem. Mindfulness-informed techniques teach present-moment awareness and stress-management skills that can ease rumination and improve emotional regulation.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Karina collaborates with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure the chosen approach fits the client s circumstances and comfort level.
Online therapy with Karina can be delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or work and to maintain continuity of care when life changes or travel make in-person visits difficult.
