She also helps people dealing with relationship strain, low self-esteem and major life transitions. Her work covers a wide range of focus areas including abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Corina listens first, then helps set small, achievable goals. She uses hands-on techniques from CBT and DBT to manage intense emotion and practical ACT exercises to clarify values and choices.

The aim is to reduce overwhelming symptoms and make daily life feel more manageable. If someone wants to begin, they can start by using the site’s Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that fit those values. It is useful when someone feels stuck or wants to make meaningful changes despite difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and practising different responses. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress because it teaches concrete coping skills. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers practical strategies for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. It can help when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships get turbulent. Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques and adjust the plan together so it fits each person’s needs and preferences. That way the work stays practical and focused on real-life change. Please check which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins on a packed day, or enabling work around different time zones for international clients. Registered or accredited professionals can use the same therapeutic tools online as in person, and the focus remains on learning skills and making steady progress.
