Sessions are offered in English and Bosnian. Bernina accepts international clients and frames therapy as a step-by-step process where progress builds over time.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current bonds and helps people build more secure ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bernina will discuss different methods and decide together which ones match a client’s goals, needs, and preferences. She treats the choice as collaborative and adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering appointments that match work or family schedules. It also allows people to continue therapy when they cannot easily be on site with a local clinician. Talk with Bernina during the matching process to learn which session arrangements she currently offers and which will work best for your situation.
