Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Igor Light



Igor draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions - the work emphasizes values-driven choices and can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and communication - this approach can support those coping with abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship difficulties. In addition, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop more effective coping skills for problems like stress, low mood, and social anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Igor works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. He tailors the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexible ways to access care that fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of work with licensed professionals and to engage in therapy from home, during breaks, or while traveling, supporting consistent progress toward personal goals.
