Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. It helps people understand repeated relationship dynamics, heal from attachment wounds, and build more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s own experience - the therapist provides empathy, active listening, and nonjudgmental support so clients can explore their feelings and identify their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours by teaching practical skills to reframe thinking and develop coping strategies; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Zhanna works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors a blend of methods to suit the unique situation rather than applying a fixed protocol. This collaborative process helps find the best fit for meaningful change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care across different circumstances. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to support ongoing work on emotional regulation, relationships, coping skills, and life transitions.
