Psychotheraphy online in english and polish

How do I know what approach I need?
Choosing the right approach depends on your unique challenges and goals. During our initial consultation, we’ll discuss your concerns, symptoms, and personal preferences. Based on this, I’ll recommend a tailored therapy plan, whether it’s CBT, Schema Therapy, EMDR, or a combination, to best support your mental health and well-being.

Schema therapy

Schema Therapy aims to meet clients’ unmet basic needs. The therapeutic relationship, based on the concept of limited parenting, provides the patient with a model of a healthy parent, which the patient learns to internalize during therapy. During therapy, techniques focused on experiencing emotions and cognitive-behavioral techniques are used to break dysfunctional patterns in the patient’s life.

Who is Schema Therapy for?

Schema Therapy is for individuals with:

  • Long-term emotional issues
  • Recurring destructive behaviors
  • Personality disorders
  • Childhood trauma

It helps transform unhealthy patterns into adaptive behaviors.

In schema therapy, I regularly do additional courses, learning to help people with:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavioral psychotherapy aims to directly address distressing symptoms, reduce anxiety, re-evaluate thinking, and promote helpful behavioral responses by offering skill-building therapeutic interventions. During CBT therapy, each person learns tools that will allow them to become their own therapist in the future.

Who is CBT for?

CBT is for individuals who:

  • Experience anxiety or depression
  • Struggle with stress or anger management
  • Have negative thought patterns or behaviors
  • Want to manage phobias or panic attacks
  • Face challenges with low self-esteem

CBT provides practical tools to reshape negative thoughts and improve emotional well-being.

In classic cognitive-behavioral therapy, I use treatment protocols:

groups

social anxiety

sentiment_sad

depression

bug_report

specific phobia

bomb

anxiety, worry or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

personal_injury

self-harm

personality disorders

I also have extensive experience working with neuroatypical clients who have features of the ADHD and autism/Asperger’s spectrum.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences by facilitating the brain’s natural healing process. EMDR aims to reduce the emotional distress associated with traumatic memories and promote long-term emotional well-being. During EMDR therapy, individuals work through painful memories while guided by specific eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation.

Who is EMDR for?

EMDR is for individuals who:

  • Have experienced trauma or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Struggle with anxiety or panic attacks
  • Feel overwhelmed by disturbing memories or flashbacks
  • Face challenges with unresolved grief or loss
  • Want to improve their emotional regulation and overall well-being

EMDR offers a structured approach to addressing trauma and can help individuals break free from the emotional grip of their past experiences, restoring a sense of calm and control.

EMDR is commonly used to treat the following disorders:

bomb

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

sentiment_stressed

anxiety disorders

sentiment_sad

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy designed to help individuals manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and develop coping strategies. It was originally developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan for individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) but is now widely used for various mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and substance use disorders.

Four DBT Modules:

  1. Mindfulness – Increases awareness of the present moment, teaching non-judgmental observation. Techniques: mindful breathing, grounding, focusing on “here and now.”
  2. Distress Tolerance – Helps manage crises without harmful behaviors. Techniques: TIPP (temperature, exercise, breathing, relaxation), self-soothing (music, aromatherapy).
  3. Emotion Regulation – Identifying and changing emotional responses. Strategies: opposite action, reducing vulnerability, labeling emotions accurately.
  4. Interpersonal Effectiveness – Builds relationships and assertiveness. DEAR MAN (Describe, Express, Assert, Reinforce, Mindful, Appear confident, Negotiate).

DBT fosters emotional stability, better relationships, and resilience.

DBT therapy is commonly used to treat the following disorders:

Yes, online therapy is often just as effective as in-person therapy for addressing a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, emotional regulation, and more.

Online therapy also offers unique benefits, such as greater convenience, flexibility, and accessibility. It allows you to attend sessions from the comfort of your own home or any private space, reducing the time and effort spent on travel.

While the choice between online and in-person therapy depends on personal preference, the most important factor is the quality of the therapeutic relationship. Whether online or in-person, therapy works best when you feel comfortable, supported, and understood by your therapist. If you’re unsure which option is right for you, we can discuss your preferences during an initial consultation.

Each therapy session lasts 50 minutes. This time is dedicated to working together on your goals and addressing the challenges you’re facing.
