How Lina’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and expectations. It helps people understand patterns in how they relate to others and to themselves, and it can be useful for intimacy concerns, communication problems, and relational stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT looks at thoughts and the everyday habits that keep problems going. It teaches concrete skills to test unhelpful thoughts and to build new routines for better mood and sleep, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Lina works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s needs, goals, and comfort level. She combines listening with practical exercises and checks in regularly to adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
