Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Dr. Cokuslu commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT helps people clarify personal values and take steps toward them even when feelings are hard. CBT focuses on spotting thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.She also uses client-centered and emotion-focused methods that prioritize listening and building a strong working relationship. Those approaches help when someone needs space to process grief, attachment wounds, or body image struggles. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the problem they want to address.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video suits conversations that need visual cues and a fuller therapeutic exchange. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short updates, check-ins between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions around work, caregiving, and daily life.
