Approaches that guide online sessions

Yanina often combines cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Attachment-based therapy looks at how relationship patterns began and how to build healthier connections today, which helps with intimacy and communication problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to pick methods that match goals and needs, and adjusts methods over time based on what is helpful. The process is hands-on and guided by client preferences and progress.

Before starting online therapy, confirm the current session options, scheduling arrangements, and fees. Discuss what will help you take part comfortably and how to fit appointments around everyday commitments. Agree on the next steps with the therapist so you know what to expect.
