Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and works toward living in line with personal values - it can be useful for anxiety, depression and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often offering practical tools for managing symptoms and building skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic, nonjudgmental listening and partnership, creating a space where clients feel heard and can explore their concerns at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Registered professionals and therapists often blend methods and will work collaboratively with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals and preferences. Petrus adapts plans to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and some work can continue through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access support from different locations and to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments, while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship.
