Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and challenges that involve avoidance or stuck patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses, and it can be especially helpful for intimacy, abandonment, and relationship concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and a nonjudgmental stance from the therapist, supporting individuals in building self-awareness, self-esteem, and their own goals for change.

Nuri approaches the choice of methods as a collaborative process. He works with each person to determine which combination of approaches fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the work over time based on what proves most helpful.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life and to access licensed professionals from different locations. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, allow sessions when travel or local constraints are an issue, and support ongoing momentum between appointments.
