Remote therapy options and clinical approach
Irina integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify values, notice unhelpful patterns, and practice concrete skills. ACT is presented as a way to clarify what matters and to take committed steps in line with those priorities. CBT is used to map links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to develop practical strategies for change.
She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques and Emotionally-Focused Therapy principles when relational patterns and strong emotions are central concerns. DBT-informed skills offer tools for managing intense emotions and improving regulation. EFT-informed work attends to attachment and interactional cycles that affect closeness and conflict.
Irina approaches remote work as a collaborative process in which the client and therapist decide which methods fit best. Online sessions can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences.
