Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and understanding. This approach helps people build self-awareness, strengthen self-esteem, and address relationship or family concerns by exploring personal values and goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and patterns that contribute to anxiety, panic, depression, and stress. It emphasizes practical strategies and skill-building to change behaviors and improve emotional regulation.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity, manage overwhelm, and improve coping with mood fluctuations or trauma-related symptoms. These techniques can complement other interventions to increase calm and focus.

Krystyna works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of approaches fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She values client input and adjusts strategies as progress unfolds to find the best fit.
