Background and approach
Those roles gave her practice with individual sessions, group work, and family-focused conversations. Anastasia uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She draws on client-centered ideas to follow a person's pace and priorities.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns back, asks what matters most, and helps set goals that fit the client’s life. It is useful for people who need a supportive, nonjudgmental space to talk and make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to test new ideas. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives clear exercises and small experiments to try between sessions.
Anastasia treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will work with clients to test methods and adjust plans based on what feels helpful. The goal is to match techniques to a person’s needs, priorities, and pace rather than forcing a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for conversations that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text is useful for brief check-ins, quick coping strategies, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and to keep momentum between appointments.
