Integrative therapeutic approaches for online support
Nicoleta uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the person s experience guides the work. This approach focuses on empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so individuals can explore feelings, values, and relationship patterns at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is employed to help identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. Mindfulness therapy is also part of her practice, teaching present-moment awareness and self-compassion techniques that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nicoleta works collaboratively with each person to consider their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods over time to find the best fit and to support lasting change.
Online work offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone and can include live chat or text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from different locations, fit therapy into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
