Therapeutic approaches and online care with Esra Kuscu

Esra integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into online sessions to help identify patterns of thought and behaviour that contribute to distress and to develop practical strategies for change - CBT is frequently used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

She also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an approach aimed at processing distressing memories and reducing their ongoing emotional impact - EMDR is often applied when trauma or abuse are central issues.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach in her toolkit, focusing on helping clients clarify their values, accept difficult internal experiences, and take committed action toward meaningful goals - ACT can be helpful for life transitions, chronic stress, and coping difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Esra works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier for clients in different locations or with varied schedules to engage in consistent therapy and to integrate support into daily life.
