Background and approach

That might mean learning breathing and grounding exercises, testing a different way of speaking in a relationship, or breaking a big problem into small steps. Attachment ideas often inform his approach. He explains how early relationship patterns affect connection and coping today, and he uses that framework in a practical way.

This helps people understand why they react as they do and how to build steadier responses. Stevan also brings strategies from cognitive and mindfulness-based approaches to address mood, self-esteem, addiction-related concerns and sleep or eating difficulties. He works with career stress, grief, anger and impulse issues using concrete techniques and brief experiments in session.

His style combines empathy with gentle challenge so clients are heard and also pushed toward growth. Stevan holds PACFA and has five years of practice supporting people in Australia. He offers sessions in English and Serbian and supports clients using a range of online formats.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling and change

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them. It focuses on values and committed action so clients can take steps toward what matters, even with anxiety or low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and tests new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for tackling anxiety, depression, sleep problems and unhelpful habits. Mindfulness Therapy emphasises present-moment noticing and simple practices that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation, which pairs well with ACT and CBT.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, explain relevant methods and try different strategies together. The plan can change as you learn what helps most, and decisions are guided by your needs and feedback.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief reflections, written exercises or people who prefer typing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or busy days while still using the ACT, CBT and mindfulness tools discussed in sessions.
