Her work often focuses on depression, anxiety and anger. She helps people who are coping with life changes, grief, trauma and difficulties with self-esteem. She also supports those managing sleep problems, career stress, ADHD and compassion fatigue, as well as longer standing patterns such as attachment issues, codependency and problems with communication.

Anastasiia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused and Trauma-Focused methods when people need more in-depth trauma support. Sessions involve practical techniques, gentle reflection and homework to try between meetings.

In sessions she aims to be collaborative and to set clear, manageable goals. She pays attention to how past experiences affect present relationships and day-to-day coping.

How Anastasiia’s approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts while taking steps that matter to them. It is useful for anxiety, stress and when life changes make values and routines feel unclear. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills for mood, sleep and anger management. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they relate to others and manage emotional triggers.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anastasiia treats this as a collaborative process and will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts plans as progress is made and checks in about what is or is not working.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or family commitments. Online sessions can reduce travel time and let people join from another room in their home or during a break at work.
