Integrative therapeutic approaches for online support
Krassimir frequently uses CBT/REBT, a structured approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours to reduce anxiety, low mood, and stress. It focuses on practical strategies and skills practitioners can use between sessions to manage difficult emotions and situations.
He also works from an integrative framework that blends client-centered and psychodynamic ideas - client-centered work emphasizes empathetic listening and building a strong therapeutic relationship, while psychodynamic exploration looks at underlying patterns and past experiences that influence current feelings and relationships. These methods can be helpful for relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues, and deeper emotional patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Krassimir and the client review presenting concerns, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as therapy progresses to ensure the best fit.
Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent support around work, family, and geographical constraints. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and allow registered professionals to tailor session style and pace to each person's needs and daily life.
