How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Vasiliki works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and symptom relief. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing alternatives in daily life to reduce distress and improve mood. This kind of work is useful for depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and low mood.Another approach centers on processing past stressful or traumatic experiences in a paced way so they have less impact on current relationships and functioning. This method helps people who struggle with trauma, grief, or recurring emotional reactions that feel out of proportion to the moment.
Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. Vasiliki will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan as progress or challenges become clear.
