Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care
Gulsan integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people build healthier ways of relating to partners, family members, and themselves. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Gulsan treats that choice as a collaborative process. She will work with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences and adapt techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Gulsan is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. These options provide flexibility for those balancing work, family, or travel and expand access to registered professionals and therapists regardless of geographic constraints.
