Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Naja Druva

Naja uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help people build skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. DBT emphasizes practical tools like emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness that can be applied in everyday life.

She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy, an approach that helps people process and reduce the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences by gently addressing memories, beliefs, and reactions tied to those events. This work often includes grounding and coping strategies to support stabilization.

Additionally, Naja incorporates Client-Centered Therapy principles, offering a nonjudgmental, empathetic space where the client’s perspective guides the pace and goals of treatment. She works collaboratively to determine which approaches fit best based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as therapy unfolds.

Online sessions with Naja are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or while traveling, and choose the format that feels most useful on any given day.
