About Anastasiia

Anastasiia Makarova is a cognitive-behavioral therapist who focuses on helping people manage persistent low mood and related challenges. She works with depressive disorders, including cases described as treatment-resistant depression, and offers structured, evidence-informed therapy designed to address symptoms such as enduring hopelessness, loss of interest in once-enjoyable activities, sleep disruption, difficulties with day-to-day organization, and changes in appetite or weight.

Anastasiia integrates findings from neuroscience and medical research into her clinical approach and keeps current through regular participation in international conferences. She is a member of psychological associations in both the United Kingdom and the United States and holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which represents standards for counselling and psychotherapy in the UK. These affiliations reflect her commitment to professional and ethical practice.

Her work is collaborative and goal-oriented, aimed at helping clients develop practical strategies and renewed engagement with life. Anastasiia welcomes consultation and invites those experiencing persistent depressive symptoms to arrange an initial conversation to explore whether her approach is a good fit.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Anastasiia often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and structured, and it can be effective for symptoms of depression, anxiety, sleep disruption, and difficulties with daily functioning.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on accepting difficult feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful action. ACT can support people managing persistent mood challenges, distressing thoughts, or life transitions by increasing psychological flexibility.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Anastasiia works with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting methods over time so therapy fits each person's life and priorities.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and those who live far from in-person services. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different ways of working, and access registered professionals from different locations, while keeping sessions practical and focused on the client’s goals.
