Evidence-Based Online Therapy With a Person-Centred Approach

Dr. Marijeta Kurtin Valjin draws on evidence-based approaches that can translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practicing new ways of responding. It is often used for concerns like anxiety, stress, and low mood, and it can be especially helpful when clients want clear, practical strategies.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in making room for difficult thoughts and emotions while taking steps toward what matters most to them. It can be useful for managing stress, anxiety, and life transitions, especially when a client feels stuck or pulled away from their values. Mindfulness-based strategies may also be woven in to help build steadier attention and more effective coping in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Kurtin Valjin works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose tools that fit their needs, adjusting as therapy unfolds.

Online sessions can make it easier to access support in a way that fits real schedules and responsibilities. Clients can connect with licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for parenting demands, work commitments, or times when meeting in person feels difficult.
