She frames the work as a collaboration where the person’s goals guide the process. Sessions focus on building confidence, improving communication, and developing practical skills to handle strong emotions. Anthia encourages small, achievable steps and honors each person’s pace when making changes.
Her approach draws from Motivational Interviewing to clarify what matters most to a person and to boost readiness for change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are included to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors.
Across sixteen years in the field, Anthia has helped people work through panic, post-traumatic stress, compulsive behaviors, and problems with trust and attachment. She pays attention to issues like guilt, shame, impulsivity, and isolation that often underlie repeat problems. Anthia aims to make sessions feel manageable and goal-directed.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping a person clarify their reasons for change and strengthening their own motivation through gentle conversation and reflective listening. It can help when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about changing behaviors like substance use or work habits.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and values. The therapist follows the person’s lead, listens closely, and helps them make sense of their thoughts and feelings. This approach supports issues such as self-esteem, identity, and relationship concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, panic, depression, and social fears by breaking problems into small, practical steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Anthia will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, limit travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals adapt these approaches to remote sessions so people can keep progress moving forward. -
