Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and learn practical ways to act in line with those values even when difficult thoughts and feelings arise. It is useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and early patterns of connection, exploring how those patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and coping with abandonment or complex family histories.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, teaching skills to reframe unhelpful thinking and develop effective coping strategies. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Corina works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods align with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adapts the work as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to access registered professionals from home or while traveling. This range of formats supports consistent care around work, family, and other commitments and makes it easier to maintain momentum between sessions.
