Background and approach

Many clients come with specific goals and a readiness to do the work needed to feel better. Her practice draws on approaches that include client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means conversations that focus on your priorities, plus concrete tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

She also uses EMDR as part of trauma-focused care when it seems appropriate for a person’s needs. Typical topics include career strain, feeling isolated, trouble communicating, and making sense of loss. Nikita also supports people coping with personality disorder issues and disruptive mood patterns by breaking problems into manageable steps.

The aim is steadier moods and more reliable daily functioning. With 19 years of experience, she blends listening with practical strategies. Sessions can include problem-solving, goal planning, and skills practice.

Online support

Approaches you can use via online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following your priorities. The therapist offers an accepting space and mirrors back what matters most so you can clarify goals and make choices that feel right. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, mixes conversation with practical exercises such as tracking thoughts and testing unhelpful beliefs to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. EMDR, when used, helps people process distressing memories by pairing focused attention with guided bilateral stimulation as part of trauma-focused work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with you to decide which methods best match your needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with listening and goal setting, then adding CBT tools or EMDR-inspired techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and skills practice, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can suit brief check-ins or when typing helps you reflect. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between longer sessions.
