Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Petra often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) into her online work. ACT helps clients clarify personal values and take actionable steps toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. EFT focuses on understanding and reshaping emotional patterns in relationships, helping partners reconnect and address intimacy or attachment concerns. Petra also uses elements of the Gottman Method for couples work, offering evidence-informed strategies to improve communication and restore harmony.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Petra collaborates with each client to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current needs, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved and supported in shaping their care.

Online therapy with Petra is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing appointments to fit busy schedules and varying comfort levels. These options increase flexibility and accessibility, making it easier to maintain consistent work on relationships, coping skills, and life changes no matter where clients are located in Michigan.
