Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Vakhtang uses psychodynamic therapy to help people understand how early relationships and past experiences shape present thoughts and feelings. This approach aims to reveal repeating patterns so people can make different choices and feel less stuck.He also integrates mindfulness therapy, which teaches simple practices to notice the body and thoughts without getting swept away. Mindfulness can help with anxiety, sleep problems, and managing emotional reactivity between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and day-to-day life, adjusting the balance between insight-oriented exploration and practical coping skills as needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity when life gets disrupted.
