Background and approach
Ivana draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to match each person's needs. She combines short-term, solution-focused work with exercises that address thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. When needed she uses more reflective methods to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life.
Her background includes three years of clinical experience and credentialing as an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - in New York. She has also completed additional training in clinical hypnotherapy and maintains membership with professional associations to stay current in practice. People who prefer flexible, remote sessions will find several formats available.
Ivana helps clients set achievable steps, practice new skills, and track progress. She encourages patience during the matching process and supports clients as they figure out what works best for them.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Ivana commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques that help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. These methods are practical and often include homework-like exercises to practice new skills between sessions.She also applies solution-focused methods that concentrate on small, achievable changes. These sessions aim to set clear goals and identify steps that move a person toward those goals quickly.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what feels most useful. Clients and the therapist work together to pick techniques that match needs and preferences rather than following a single plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins and ongoing progress without a full session. These options make scheduling simpler and help therapy fit into work, family, and travel routines.
