Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Petronela

Petronela uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own goals and experiences guide the work. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy and building a trusting relationship, and it can help with issues like low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and structured, often useful for managing anxiety, depression, anger and stress by teaching coping strategies and problem-solving skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Petronela works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful and adjust the approach as therapy progresses.

Online therapy 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 lives and to access support from different locations. For many people this range of options increases accessibility and makes it simpler to maintain continuity of care with registered professionals and therapists.
