Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an evidence-based method of psychological support that helps identify and transform automatic negative thoughts affecting emotions and behavior. Unlike ordinary conversations, CBT provides practical tools for solving real-life problems.

Benefits of CBT

✅ Understanding the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions

✅ Replacing destructive beliefs with more rational ones

✅ Effective techniques for managing anxiety and stress

✅ Overcoming procrastination and avoidance behavior

✅ Developing emotional self-regulation skills

✅ Long-term results

What Issues Does CBT Help With?

🔹 Anxiety and panic disorders

🔹 Depression, apathy, and emotional burnout

🔹 Obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors (OCD)

🔹 Relationship and communication difficulties

🔹 Low self-esteem and perfectionism

🔹 Difficulty making decisions

🔹 Psychosomatic symptoms and disorders

🔹 Post-traumatic conditions

How Do Sessions Work?

During therapy we:

• Identify automatic thoughts and cognitive distortions (catastrophizing, mind reading, emotional discounting, etc.)
• Analyze the chain: thought → emotion → behavior
• Develop individualized exercises and behavioral experiments
• Use thought, emotion, and reaction journals
• Gradually reduce avoidance patterns
• Reinforce healthier ways of thinking and behaving

Modern CBT: An Integrative Approach

Modern CBT is not a single method, but a group of complementary approaches:

• First wave — behavior-focused work (skills training, exposure techniques, response training)
• Second wave — work with thoughts and beliefs
• Third wave — focus on acceptance, values, and mindfulness (ACT, schema therapy, mindfulness-based approaches)

In my practice, I use an integrative CBT format, selecting tools from different “waves” depending on the client’s goals and needs.

Important to Know

CBT is an active collaborative process. A significant part of the progress happens between sessions through practical exercises and homework assignments.

📖 Average duration: 8–10 sessions

📩 Book a consultation — and together we will choose the most suitable format for your request.

Schema therapy is a modern integrative approach that combines cognitive behavioral therapy, psychoanalysis, and attachment theory. It helps identify and transform persistent destructive patterns (“schemas”) formed in childhood that continue to influence adult life.

This approach is especially helpful when a person already understands their problem rationally, but emotional change still does not fully occur.

Benefits of Schema Therapy

✅ Working with deep core beliefs (“I am unworthy,” “The world is dangerous,” etc.)

✅ Healing childhood wounds without retraumatizing immersion into painful memories

✅ Breaking repetitive relationship patterns (choosing unhealthy partners, self-sabotaging success, etc.)

✅ Developing a healthy Adult Self capable of balancing emotions and reason

✅ Long-term transformation affecting not only behavior, but personality structure itself

What Issues Does Schema Therapy Help With?

🔹 Repeating relationship problems (loneliness, codependency, conflicts)

🔹 Chronic anxiety or depression

🔹 Low self-esteem, perfectionism, fear of rejection

🔹 Emotional instability (from emotional numbness to anger outbursts)

🔹 Borderline and narcissistic personality traits

🔹 Stress-related psychosomatic symptoms

How Do Sessions Work?

1. Identifying Schemas

We explore childhood and early life experiences through the lens of basic psychological needs:

• Safety
• Acceptance
• Autonomy
• Attachment

Work may include dialogues between different parts of the personality

(Child, Parent, Adult).

2. Processing and Transformation

Cognitive methods for reevaluating beliefs

• (“Am I truly helpless?”)
• Emotional techniques such as imagery work and therapeutic letters
• Behavioral experiments in real life situations

3. Reinforcement and Integration“Reparenting” the inner Child through support and empathy

• Developing healthier coping strategies instead of old schemas
• (for example, learning to ask for help instead of withdrawing)

Important to Know

In schema therapy, you do not simply talk about problems — you revisit, emotionally process, and gradually rewrite your life patterns within a safe therapeutic space.

📖 Average duration: 25–40 sessions

📩 Book a consultation — and begin transforming the deep inner patterns that no longer serve you.

Psychodrama is a unique method of individual and group therapy in which life situations are explored through action, role play, spontaneous improvisation, and theatrical techniques.

Benefits of Psychodrama

✅ Deep emotional processing within a safe therapeutic space

✅ Finding new solutions to old problems by exploring alternative scenarios

✅ Developing spontaneity and a more creative approach to life

✅ Healing relationships through role reversal techniques

✅ Especially effective where “words are not enough” — including trauma, crises, and family conflicts

What Issues Does Psychodrama Help With?

🔹 Childhood trauma and unfinished relationships

🔹 Family conflicts and relationship difficulties

🔹 Identity crises and self-discovery

🔹 Boundary-related problems (self-sacrifice, aggression, inability to say no)

🔹 Anxiety, fears, and phobias

🔹 Grief, loss, and PTSD

🔹 Professional burnout

How Does a Session Work?

1. Warm-Up. Exercises that help participants relax, become emotionally present, and connect with the core theme.
2. Action. Reenactment of important life situations through dramatic exploration.
3. Sharing. Discussion of emotions, reactions, and insights after the scene.

Core Techniques

• Role Reversal — understanding another person’s perspective
• Mirror Technique — seeing oneself from the outside
• Doubling — voicing hidden thoughts and emotions
• Empty Chair — dialogue with an absent person or part of oneself

Example

If you have carried anger toward a parent for many years, psychodrama may help you:

• Recreate a meaningful scene from the past
• Step into the role of the parent (role reversal)
• Express feelings that were never spoken aloud
• Explore a new, healing ending to the situation

Important to Know

In psychodrama, there is no “correct performance.”

Every spontaneous emotional response has value.

This method is not for actors — it is for anyone willing to explore their life through action and lived experience.

📖 Average duration: 10–25 sessions

📩 Try psychodrama — sometimes, to change your story, you first need to play it differently.

Transactional Analysis (TA) is a psychological model that explores how our internal ego states — Parent, Adult, and Child — influence behavior and relationships, and how healthier patterns of communication can be built.

(childhood prohibitions against joy, spontaneity, or success)
