Online and remote sessions

Dr. Marijeta Kurtin Valjin offers therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These formats are available to support ongoing work when meeting in person is not possible or when a remote option is preferred.

Her practice commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with a client-centred stance and mindfulness techniques. CBT is presented as a way to identify thinking and behaviour patterns and to develop practical strategies. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking purposeful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. A client-centred perspective emphasises listening, validation and building on existing strengths, while mindfulness practices support present-moment awareness.

Sessions are collaborative: goals and strategies are set together, and tools are adapted to each person's needs. Remote modalities support discussion, skill-building and between-session practice in the same therapeutic framework and can be selected according to a client's communication preference. This approach is applicable to work on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, parenting and depression.
