Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems by teaching practical skills to manage difficult emotions and situations.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. It supports people who experience intense emotions or relationship difficulties by building specific coping strategies and communication skills.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and integrating distressing experiences in a paced, supportive way. It can help people who have experienced abuse, loss or other traumatic events to reduce the ongoing impact of those experiences and find new ways of coping.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Despina works collaboratively with each client to explore which methods align with their goals, needs and preferences, adjusting plans as progress unfolds.



Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support around work, family and other commitments. These options also enable people to access help from different locations, supporting continuity of care for international clients and those with busy schedules.
