Approaches Karina lists

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Karina commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused ideas to guide online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day coping. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape relationships and communication, which can help clarify needs and rebuild connection. She also uses solution-focused strategies that zero in on specific goals and small, measurable changes.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. Sessions begin with listening and assessment, then a plan is shaped together and adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits, while phone sessions can be easier when movement or multitasking is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support brief check-ins, quick skill reminders, or ongoing tracking between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep pacing consistent over time.
