Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by focusing on values-driven behaviour rather than trying to eliminate discomfort.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections and emotional responses. This approach can be especially helpful for intimacy-related issues, relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and trauma responses by strengthening relational awareness and trust.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replaces them with more adaptive alternatives. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and managing mood symptoms through practical, skills-focused work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tatyana will work with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, and she will adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone let people meet from home, while live chat and text messaging provide options for those who prefer written or shorter exchanges. These formats make scheduling easier and expand access for international clients or those with busy lives, while allowing therapists to deliver consistent, goal-focused support.
