Therapeutic approaches and online support

Mihaela uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration and is often helpful for building self-awareness, improving relationships, and recovering from loss or shame.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep difficulties because it provides practical strategies to manage symptoms and develop coping skills.

Hypnotherapy is offered as an adjunctive tool to support relaxation and access deeper resources for change, which some people find useful for habits, trauma-related patterns, and stress reduction. The therapist and client discuss suitability before using this method.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is worked out collaboratively. Mihaela and the client review goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques and adapt the plan over time, often blending methods to suit individual needs.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care across locations and allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, accessible support.
