Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual’s experience and aims to create a supportive, non-judgemental environment where clients can explore feelings and make their own choices. It is useful for people who want to build self-understanding, improve relationships, or work through life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is commonly used for issues such as anxiety, low mood, stress, and practical coping challenges by teaching clear, structured techniques to manage symptoms and test new ways of responding.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative approach designed to increase a person’s readiness for change. It helps clients clarify their personal goals and resolve mixed feelings about change, which can be especially helpful for issues like addiction or ambivalence about making lifestyle adjustments.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dmitri works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to registered professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, support people who live at a distance, and provide continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
