Therapeutic approaches and online support
Elena uses a blend of practical therapies well suited to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - helps identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches concrete skills to manage symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, or difficulties with focus. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - encourages people to notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action that aligns with their values, which can be helpful for stress, chronic difficulties, and recovery from addictive behaviour. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple practices that increase present-moment awareness and reduce rumination, supporting emotional regulation and stress management.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elena works collaboratively with each client to explore options, adapt methods to individual needs, and agree on goals and techniques that feel most helpful for that person.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call or phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging when that better fits their schedule or situation. These options make it easier to access consistent support across distances and time zones while allowing sessions to be arranged around work, family, and other commitments.
