Integrative Approaches and Online Support
Dagmar works with a mix of therapies that translate well to online formats. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and build psychological flexibility - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and patterns of avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current bonds and emotional responses, helping with intimacy-related issues, relationship difficulties, and the impacts of trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, compulsive behaviours, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dagmar collaborates with clients to identify which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts the work as therapy progresses so the approach remains relevant and practical.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and life situations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations, fit sessions around work and family commitments, and choose the style of communication that feels most comfortable for the individual.
