Integrating Therapeutic Approaches in Online Care

Valentina draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps clients clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful action; ACT can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relating patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses, supporting work on intimacy, family dynamics, and trust. When appropriate, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is applied to help partners or family members identify and shift unhelpful interaction patterns and strengthen emotional bonds.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Valentina collaborates with each client to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Valentina is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, manage symptoms from home, and access support from different locations while working with a licensed professional.
