Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Anna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's needs. One focus is trauma-informed work, which helps people process the effects of trauma and abuse in ways that acknowledge how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships. This approach is useful for those coping with traumatic memories, emotional reactivity, or difficulties in trusting others.

Another area of emphasis is attachment-focused therapy, which explores patterns of closeness and separation that affect relationships and feelings of abandonment. By looking at past and present relationship dynamics, this work can support people dealing with attachment issues, relationship conflicts, and loneliness.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Anna will work with each client to identify which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Anna is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access ongoing support, maintain continuity of care, and choose the format that best suits each person's life and needs.
