Therapeutic approaches and online care
Wajda draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful and nonjudgmental space where the person leads the pace and priorities of each session; this approach helps people explore feelings, build self-understanding, and make choices aligned with their values. Attachment-based therapy is used to examine relational patterns that arise from early bonding experiences and to support people in developing healthier ways of connecting with others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) blends mindful acceptance with committed action, helping people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even in the presence of difficult thoughts and feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Wajda works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as the work unfolds. This collaborative stance supports practical problem solving as well as deeper emotional exploration.
Online therapy with Wajda includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, mobility limits, or geographic distance. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into daily life, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward personal goals.
