Therapeutic approaches and online support
Mindfulness Therapy focuses on cultivating present-moment awareness and self-compassion through practical exercises and reflective attention; it can help people manage stress, burnout and ongoing emotional strain by building skillful ways to relate to difficult thoughts and sensations. Client-Centered Therapy emphasises empathic listening and collaboration, creating a space where the person’s own goals guide the work and personal strengths are explored to support growth and resilience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and adjust unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour, often proving useful for anxiety, mood difficulties and coping with practical life challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Dr. Atanes works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She combines elements from different models as appropriate to create a tailored plan.
Online therapy with a registered professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and brief support can be provided via live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs while maintaining continuity of care with a therapist who can adapt methods to an online setting.
