Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Hendrina integrates several proven therapeutic approaches to support clients in online settings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful patterns of avoidance, clarify what matters to them, and commit to small, value-driven actions - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses, offering insight and tools for improving intimacy, communication, and trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting thought and behaviour patterns that contribute to distress, teaching practical coping skills for conditions like anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Hendrina works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and practical. This collaborative stance helps clients feel engaged and supported as they try new strategies.

Online therapy with Hendrina offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access support across distances, and choose the communication style that feels most helpful.
