How Corina's therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take values‑based steps forward. It is useful for stress, anxiety and when life feels stalled.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, low mood and problem solving.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills teach ways to manage intense emotions and improve coping when feelings feel overwhelming. These skills can be helpful alongside other approaches for people who need strategies for strong emotional moments.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit best. Sessions can adjust over time as goals change.
Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule a shorter check‑in during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every session. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss practical arrangements and how to shape sessions so therapy slots sit alongside everyday commitments.
