Online support
How her approaches translate to online care
Valentina uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then take small steps toward what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and helps people develop more supported ways of relating to others and themselves.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Valentina discusses goals, preferences, and past experience to choose which tools to use. She adjusts methods over time so the work stays relevant and useful for each person.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can be useful for brief check-ins or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, parenting, or travel while still using skills like mindfulness, emotion regulation, and values-based action.
