She takes a holistic approach to therapy, considering the biological, psychological, and social factors that contribute to each individual’s unique experience. Through her compassionate and evidence-based approach, Ekaterina helps her clients develop new coping skills, challenge negative thought patterns, and build stronger relationships with themselves and others.
One of Ekaterina’s areas of expertise is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a research-based approach that focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, phobias, and depression. Ekaterina works closely with her clients to help them recognize and challenge their negative thought patterns, develop more adaptive coping strategies, and achieve their treatment goals.
In addition to CBT, Ekaterina is also trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a specialized form of therapy that combines elements of CBT with mindfulness practices. DBT is particularly effective in treating individuals with emotion regulation difficulties, borderline personality disorder, and chronic self-harm behaviors. Through DBT, Ekaterina helps her clients develop mindfulness skills, improve interpersonal effectiveness, and build emotional resilience.
Another therapeutic modality that Ekaterina uses in her practice is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR is an evidence-based therapy approach that is highly effective in treating trauma-related disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). By guiding her clients through a series of bilateral eye movements, Ekaterina helps them process and reframe traumatic memories, reducing their emotional intensity and associated symptoms.
In addition to her work with individual clients, Ekaterina is also a skilled family therapist, helping families navigate challenging dynamics and improve communication skills. Family therapy can be particularly beneficial for addressing issues such as parent-child conflicts, marital discord, and blended family challenges.
