Supportive counseling (as needed)

Supportive counseling give you the chance for reflection, insight, and recovery during life’s more challenging periods.

We can all find ourselves in situations where existence feels heavy, confusing, or overwhelming. Sometimes it’s hard to talk to friends or family—or you just want an outside person to bounce ideas off.

Whether you:

• Need to vent your thoughts and feelings,

• Are looking for help regaining balance in life, or

• Want psychological guidance for specific problem situations,

… supportive counseling can be helpful.

My role is to provide a safe, respectful space where you can put words to what feels difficult, gain new perspectives—and discover your own resources and solutions.

Stress Management/Coping (4–10 sessions)

Stress has become one of our era’s most persistent “epidemics.” Even though it won’t disappear in the near future, we can learn to manage it in ways that make life more sustainable and meaningful.

In stress management we focus on:

1. Mapping your stressors—the factors in your life that trigger or sustain your stress.

2. Understanding the “causes”/triggers—we analyze both internal and external influences on your stress level.

3. Increasing insight—through conversation and psycho‑education you’ll learn how stress works psychologically and physiologically.

The goal is to give you tools to:

• Identify and influence background factors such as habits, thought patterns, and physical resources,

• Adjust your environment so it becomes more supportive,

• Reduce negative consequences of inevitable stress, and

• Practice concrete strategies and techniques you can use when needed.

Stress can’t always be eliminated—but it can be understood, influenced, and lived with in a healthier way.

Short‑Term Psychotherapy (6–18+ sessions)

I have broad, deep experience working with anxiety issues and phobias in various forms, which lend themselves well to treatment via remote consultation.

Internet and gaming addiction also works particularly well for remote work, since the contact can occur in the environment where the problems often arise.

Regarding depression, remote treatment is usually appropriate as long as you still maintain some degree of daily functioning—for example, you can go to work or attend school. In more severe cases, a combination of remote contact and other care may be considered.

The treatment is primarily based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), both of which have strong scientific support for:

• Anxiety

• Phobias

• Low mood / depression

• Stress

• Behavioral problems and habit change

CBT and ACT are especially well suited for remote therapy because they are structured, goal‑oriented, and focus on concrete tools and exercises. When needed, I also integrate other therapeutic methods that fit the specific situation.

One of the most important pillars of therapy is your own effort. I expect you to stay active between sessions, often by completing home assignments designed to foster real, lasting change.

The length and scope of treatment depend on the nature of the issue, your personal circumstances, and your goals. We will plan together and agree on the treatment format, objectives, and expectations.

Long‑Term Psychotherapy (as needed)

I am able to provide FPA‑approved rehabilitation psychotherapy. See the description above for details.

Life Coach (as needed) (new product under development)

Do you feel lost or uncertain about what you’re doing in life? The process starts with a comprehensive interview where we explore where you currently stand and, using various methods, try to uncover the “bread crumbs” that points toward what is valuable/important for your future. Areas of specialization include psychosomatic/psychological health, living with special needs, adapting life as a neurodivergent person (ADHD and ASD), and general life management.
