Background and approach
Anastasiia draws on cognitive and emotion-focused approaches in sessions and pays attention to how past attachment experiences can affect current relationships. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. She often helps people build coping routines, test new ways of thinking, and practice different responses to upsetting situations.
For someone struggling with sleep, low mood, anger or work stress, sessions aim to produce clear, manageable steps to try between meetings. Anastasiia also works with people who have faced trauma and abuse, grief, and complicated family or intimacy issues.
She can support those coping with ADHD symptoms, compassion fatigue, or career-related strain, and she recognises how overlapping problems can make life harder. She offers therapy in English and Russian and accepts international clients. Many people find her direct, steady style helpful when they need practical tools and a calm space to talk about difficult experiences.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing the effects of traumatic events. It helps people reduce distressing memories and learn ways to live with difficult experiences without them dominating daily life.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will pick or adapt methods that feel most helpful and manageable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is wanted, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options let people fit sessions around work, family and travel, while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
