Online therapy approaches and options
Ilona uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence current interactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is applied to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and to develop alternative behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness in everyday situations.
Sessions combine client-centered and solution-focused elements so conversations and goals are shaped around each person’s priorities. This collaborative approach can fit individuals who want to examine relational patterns while also working on practical skills and short-term problem solving. Online sessions are offered through video calls and phone sessions, with live chat and text-based messaging available for ongoing contact and support between appointments.
