How his approaches guide online therapy
Aleksander uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small steps toward what matters. ACT helps when anxiety, avoidance, or uncertainty get in the way of daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current reactions; this can help with intimacy, abandonment concerns, and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Aleksander aims to discuss options with each person and choose techniques that fit their goals and preferences. He uses a collaborative process to try methods, check how they feel, and adjust the plan as needed.
