Approaches and Online Care with an Integrative Focus
Milena draws on client-centered therapy to create a supportive, collaborative relationship in which the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach emphasizes active listening and empathy, helping people build self-understanding and confidence while addressing issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and life direction.Mindfulness therapy is used to help clients develop present-moment awareness and skills for managing stress and anxiety. Practical mindfulness exercises can reduce reactivity, improve emotional regulation, and support clearer thinking during periods of overwhelm.
Trauma-focused techniques are applied when past events continue to shape current patterns, offering structured ways to process painful memories and reduce their day-to-day impact. These methods can be particularly helpful for those coping with childhood trauma or ongoing distress linked to earlier experiences.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Milena works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as therapy progresses.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for people with busy schedules or who live far from in-person services. These formats make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access continuity of care, and choose a communication style that feels most comfortable.
