About Marina
She uses clear, down-to-earth methods in sessions. She helps clients untangle communication problems, cope with grief, and work through anger or low self-esteem. Marina also supports people managing caregiver stress and issues related to aging and geriatric concerns.
Her approach blends evidence-informed tools with a warm, person-focused stance. Techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are used to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Client-Centered ideas shape a respectful space where a person's goals come first.
Marina also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotional regulation and coping skills are needed. Sessions aim to be practical and skill-oriented so people can use what they learn between visits.
She invites those who are making big life adjustments or facing ongoing stress to take a first step. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability. Marina encourages straightforward conversation about goals, so the work feels collaborative and focused.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Marina often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors through practical exercises and homework. ACT centers on building a life guided by personal values while learning to accept difficult emotions rather than fight them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marina collaborates with each person to see which methods match their goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
The details of how sessions are delivered should be confirmed before booking. Many people find online counseling helpful because it can fit more easily into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Discussing scheduling and session length helps tailor therapy to everyday routines and responsibilities.
