Remote care with integrated, trauma-aware methods
Zoya offers online sessions using trauma-informed, somatic, cognitive-behavioral, and narrative approaches adapted for remote work. Trauma-informed practice means she attends to pacing, grounding, and consent when exploring difficult experiences. Somatic techniques bring attention to bodily sensations and regulation strategies that can be used between sessions. Cognitive-behavioral methods support identification and testing of unhelpful thoughts and the development of practical coping skills.
Narrative work helps clients reframe personal stories and separate identity from painful events, which can be useful for those working through loss, infertility, or relationship transitions. Zoya generally frames therapy as a collaborative process: she and the client identify goals, try strategies together, and adjust the plan based on what fits the client’s needs and context.
Remote sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow for flexible communication styles and can be combined to support ongoing work between scheduled appointments.
