Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Viktoria uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the client's perspective, creating a supportive space where people are heard and helped to explore their feelings and values. This approach is particularly helpful for building trust and for issues rooted in attachment, self-worth, and relationship concerns.

She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can be effective for managing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and practical coping skills for everyday challenges.

For clients affected by traumatic events, Viktoria draws on trauma-focused techniques that gently address painful memories and their impact, aiming to reduce distress and improve functioning over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Viktoria collaborates with each person to select methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan as progress unfolds so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, help maintain continuity when in-person meetings are difficult, and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
