Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy supports them
Pinar draws on psychodynamic therapy to explore how early relationships and past experiences influence present patterns of thinking and relating. This approach helps when recurring emotional difficulties, relationship conflicts, or persistent low mood feel linked to long-standing patterns rather than single events.
She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy - a method that focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional responses within close relationships. EFT is helpful for people navigating family conflict, attachment concerns, or relational distress by clarifying emotional needs and fostering connection.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Pinar collaborates with each person to identify which method or combination of methods best matches their goals, preferences, and the issues they want to address, adapting the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living at a distance. These formats enable ongoing contact with registered professionals and therapists in ways that can fit daily life while maintaining continuity of care and therapeutic progress.
