Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support



Nico works primarily with client-centered and psychodynamic approaches. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic environment in which the client leads the conversation and explores personal goals; it is helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and managing life changes. Psychodynamic therapy explores patterns from past experiences and unconscious processes to help make sense of recurring emotional difficulties and relational themes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nico collaborates with clients to identify the methods that best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the direction of work as understanding deepens and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Nico offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to connect across distances. Working with registered professionals in these formats can support continuity of care and allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that feel most accessible and manageable for them.
