How Anastasiia’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them, and to act in line with what matters most. It can help when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way of day-to-day life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviours that keep problems going. It is commonly used for anxiety, sleep issues and low mood by teaching clear, repeatable skills.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on stabilising strong emotions and reducing distress tied to past events. It offers ways to process painful memories and build better coping after trauma.

Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and current difficulties and then suggest a path to try. This is a collaborative process with room to adjust methods as progress is made.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility to match pace and practical needs while keeping focus on the work you want to do.
