Therapeutic approaches and online care

Anneka uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach can help people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and work toward more stable connections. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the center of the process; the therapist listens with empathy and helps people find their own solutions for relationship, self-esteem, and career concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that match those goals and personal preferences. That means discussing options, tracking what helps, and adapting the plan together rather than sticking rigidly to one model.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support quick updates, reflection between sessions, or ongoing skills practice while fitting around work or caregiving schedules.
