Therapeutic Approaches Used in Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and teaches practical steps to move toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration - the therapist follows the client's lead and supports personal growth by creating a nonjudgmental conversational space. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, navigating relationships, and exploring identity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured strategies and skills practice; it is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and coping with day-to-day challenges.

Svetlana approaches treatment as a collaborative process, working with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the plan over time, combining techniques when appropriate and adjusting focus based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make scheduling easier around work, family, or other commitments. These options allow ongoing access to therapeutic tools and conversational support from home or other convenient locations, helping people maintain consistency and momentum in their work toward meaningful change.
