How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Mirna commonly uses a problem-solving approach that focuses on identifying specific problems, weighing options, and trying practical steps between sessions. This approach helps people who feel stuck by turning big issues into small, testable actions.

She also emphasizes using a client's strengths as a resource. That means sessions look for what already works in a person's life and build routines or habits that amplify those strengths to reduce stress and lift mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mirna collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time based on what is effective and what feels manageable.
