She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. Together these approaches guide short-term problem solving and longer changes in how someone copes. Kourteni pays attention to common life struggles like parenting stress, career uncertainty, family problems, and relationship difficulties. She also addresses concerns such as body image, communication problems, impulsivity, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. People who connect well with her are looking for respectful listening, clear feedback, and practical strategies.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and following the client's lead. In practice this means sessions focus on what matters to the person and on building understanding before offering suggestions. This approach can help with issues like low self-esteem, identity questions, and feeling stuck.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, testing new ways of responding, and practicing small behavior changes. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress management.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to pick methods that fit their goals and comfort level, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients help set priorities and try practical steps between sessions.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let someone check in more frequently or use written reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit care into work, family, or school schedules.
