About Petra
Her practice centers on empathy, compassion, and acceptance, paired with a pragmatic focus on accountability and progress. Petra uses an eclectic, evidence-informed approach that emphasizes mindfulness and self-compassion to help clients manage stress, navigate grief, address relationship and intimacy issues, and cope with trauma or addiction. She frames therapy as a collaborative process that honors each person - their background, values, and goals - while offering clear support for meaningful change.
Early sessions typically focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship, clarifying priorities, and identifying practical steps toward feeling lighter and more capable. Petra offers a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients are heard and respected as they work toward clearer communication, improved self-esteem, and healthier coping strategies.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Petra often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take committed action even when emotions are difficult; this approach can be useful for anxiety, life changes, and motivation-related concerns. She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy techniques to teach present-moment awareness and self-compassion practices that reduce rumination and support emotional regulation. In addition, Petra uses Client-Centered Therapy principles to ensure the therapeutic relationship remains empathetic and collaborative, creating space for clients to explore identity, relationships, and healing at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Petra works with each person to identify methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process means adjustments are made over time so therapy stays relevant and effective for the individual.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for Petra's practice by making sessions more flexible and accessible. Whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can engage in consistent work around schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and geographic constraints. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of care, support skill practice between sessions, and adapt to the pace that suits each client best.
