How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognize and name core emotions and attachment patterns that affect relationships. In online sessions this can clarify recurring interaction patterns and moments that feel painful or distant. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and the client's perspective. It supports a pace set by the person and encourages reflection and self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, such as activity scheduling, thought records, and behavioral experiments, which translate well to remote sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adina will collaborate with clients to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She will check in regularly and adjust the mix of emotional exploration and skill practice as progress is discussed.

Other practical benefits include flexible timing, the option for shorter check-ins when needed, and easier access when balancing work or caregiving responsibilities.
