Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on choosing actions that match personal values even when emotions are strong, which can be useful for anxiety, addiction, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Roxanna uses CBT to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical exercises that change reactions and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Roxanna works together with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and situation. That collaboration allows adjustments over time so the work stays relevant and useful.

Online sessions make it easier to get consistent care. Video calls let therapists and clients meet face-to-face from home. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging give flexibility for busy schedules or when sitting down for a longer visit is hard. These options help people keep momentum between sessions and use therapy in ways that fit their daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
