Therapeutic approaches for online care

Magdalena commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide her online work. ACT helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect personal values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which often helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress.

She approaches the choice of methods collaboratively. Early sessions are used to learn your goals and preferences, and then she tailors techniques to fit what you want to change. Clients and therapist decide together which exercises and tools to try between sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are helpful when visual cues and a fuller conversation matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick questions, brief reflections, and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different ways of connecting as needs change.
