Background and approach

He also helps people navigate forgiveness and abandonment concerns when those issues arise.

Ivan combines active listening with straightforward guidance. He encourages people to set realistic goals and to try techniques in day-to-day life. Progress is measured by what works for the individual rather than a fixed timeline.

How Ivan uses evidence-based approaches online

Ivan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and coping skills. One approach emphasizes skill-building to manage anxiety and mood problems, teaching breathing, grounding, and routine strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Another approach focuses on processing and reducing the impact of past trauma by helping people make sense of difficult memories and develop safer ways of responding to triggers.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust over time based on progress and feedback. Clients and the therapist decide together what feels most helpful.
