Client-Centered Care Online - Approaches and Access
Anna practices Client-Centered Therapy, an approach that emphasizes empathic listening, acceptance and the client’s own capacity for growth. This method focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental environment where people can explore feelings, build self-awareness and work through issues such as trauma, grief, eating concerns, relationship difficulties and mood-related problems.Working together is framed as a collaborative process. Anna will help clients identify goals, try different ways of working and adjust the approach based on individual needs, preferences and progress, ensuring the therapeutic plan fits each person rather than imposing a single method.
Online therapy with Anna is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or those living outside her immediate area. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access timely support and continue therapy during life changes while working with a registered professional who uses client-centered methods.
