Attachment-Informed and Practical Online Therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and safety. It helps people understand difficulties with intimacy, abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship dynamics by exploring emotional bonds and how they form in the present.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship. It creates space for self-exploration, identity work, and restoring self-esteem by following the client’s priorities and pace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, stress, sleep problems, and developing coping skills.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is usually decided collaboratively. Elena Ciortescu works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and the mix of methods that best fit their situation, and she adapts the plan as work progresses.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or those living abroad. For many clients, remote options support continuity of care, easier scheduling, and the chance to receive therapy from registered professionals without geographic constraints.
