She draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor sessions to each person’s situation.
Practical approaches for online relationship and life work
Petra commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her online work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify personal values and take small, committed steps that match those values, which can ease anxiety and help with decision-making. EFT centers on identifying emotional needs and changing interaction patterns, which is useful for intimacy issues and repairing trust.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy itself. Petra collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and situation. She checks in about what’s working and adjusts plans so sessions stay focused and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text let people share thoughts between sessions or fit support into a busy day. These options help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
