She brings 13 years of clinical experience to her practice, including the most recent four years working in the United Kingdom where she has completed over 800 hours of direct client work.

She adopts a person-centered approach that aims to empower people to make informed and balanced decisions about their lives. Her training includes substantial work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and she applies theoretical models to practical situations to help clients understand and change unhelpful patterns. Mihaela has supported young adults, adults, and older people dealing with emotional disorders, anxiety and panic attacks, depression, obsessive compulsive behaviours, personality difficulties, and addiction related challenges.

Her practice emphasizes collaborative goal-setting, clear action planning, and regular review of progress. She provides behavioural health education and has experience in crisis intervention when needed. Colleagues and clients can expect a calm, patient, and empathetic presence; she is described as meticulous, attentive to detail, and committed to treating each person with respect and compassion.

Prospective clients who feel a connection with this approach are invited to reach out to explore whether working together could be helpful.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Mihaela commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship and helping people explore their feelings and values so they can find their own solutions; it is useful for issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. CBT is a structured approach that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and phobic responses.

She may also integrate elements of mindfulness to support emotional regulation and present-moment awareness, which can be helpful for stress, sleep difficulties, and managing intense emotions. Selecting the right approach is a collaborative process - Mihaela works with each person to explore their needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor techniques that fit their circumstances.

Online therapy with Mihaela is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support across locations and to choose the format that feels most approachable and effective for the individual.
