Client-Centered and Existential Approaches for Online Care
Karolina draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening with empathy, reflecting clients' experiences, and supporting people to find their own answers. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes because it emphasizes the client's perspective and personal values. She also uses existential therapy to explore questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility; that approach can help when clients feel stuck, empty, or are facing major life transitions and decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Karolina treats that process as collaborative. She works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts her way of working so that therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy with Karolina is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions around work, family, and daily life. These options increase flexibility and accessibility, allowing people to engage from home or elsewhere and maintain continuity of care when circumstances change. Registered professionals and therapists can still build meaningful connections and support lasting change through these remote formats.
