About Vadim

Vadim Sitnyakovskiy is an IL LCPC with seven years of professional experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. He also supports work on motivation, confidence, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients.

Vadim frames therapy as a practical conversation. He listens to what feels most urgent and works with each person to set clear, manageable goals. Meetings focus on small steps that can change how someone handles stress or social situations over time.

His background includes several evidence-informed approaches such as attachment-focused work, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques. He uses these approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try different behaviors, and strengthen relationships with others and themselves.

Vadim also brings existential questions into sessions when people are wrestling with life purpose or feelings of emptiness. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques appear in sessions when the aim is to boost drive or map out immediate next steps. This mix is aimed at practical progress rather than long lectures or one-size-fits-all plans.

People who contact him are often dealing with relationship strain, family-of-origin problems, isolation, grief, or specific struggles like social anxiety and phobia. He offers straightforward guidance on managing these issues and helps clients track small changes that add up over time.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online sessions

Vadim draws on attachment-based work, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that translate to remote sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current interactions and helps people notice and change connection habits. Client-centered methods focus on listening and following the person's priorities, which helps set practical goals that feel relevant. CBT breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into small steps to test different ways of thinking and acting, useful for anxiety and phobic reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will discuss what feels most useful and try different methods together until a good fit emerges. This is a collaborative process where goals and techniques are adjusted based on how things are going.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family demands, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. If video is available it can help with role-play and skill practice, while audio or brief sessions may suit days when bandwidth or time is limited.
