How his approaches shape online work

Berekat uses client-centered therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting what matters most, and helping people feel heard as they set goals and try changes.

He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify patterns of thinking that keep problems going and tests small behavior changes to see what helps. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, addictions, and managing mood shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Berekat works together with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Practical benefits of online therapy include being able to fit sessions into a busy day and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular check-ins and try short skill-building exercises between sessions. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered and can pick what fits your routine.
