Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Ednina uses the Gottman Method to help people understand interaction patterns and improve communication in close relationships; this approach focuses on practical exercises and skills to reduce conflict and increase connection. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match personal values.Finding the right approach is a team effort. She will talk with each person about what matters most, try approaches that fit their goals, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different days and routines. Video calls let people work through communication exercises and role-plays. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is low or a screen-free check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when someone wants to reflect in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep progress moving between sessions.
