Online support

How his approaches work online

Vakhtang uses psychodynamic therapy to help people understand patterns that come from past relationships and early life experiences; online sessions offer space to reflect on those patterns and how they show up now. Existential work focuses on meaning, values, and direction in life, helping people who feel stuck or overwhelmed by change to clarify what matters and make purposeful choices.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods as therapy progresses. Clients and therapist check in together about what’s working and try different ways of working when needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for varied schedules and needs. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins and support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity when travel or relocation occurs.
