Therapeutic approaches and online options
Yanina often uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and many stress-related problems. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify their values and build actions that match what matters most to them.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss different methods and collaborate with clients to choose what fits their goals, preferences, and life situation. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and homework between meetings.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching-style touchpoints, or when written reflection feels helpful. These options give flexibility for scheduling, ongoing support between meetings, and ways to keep therapy working around busy days or travel.
