How sessions work
How his approaches are used in online sessions
Vakhtang commonly uses psychodynamic psychotherapy online to look at recurring patterns, early relationships, and how past experiences shape current reactions. That work is conversational and reflective, aimed at helping a person notice repeated habits and gain clearer self-understanding.He also incorporates mindfulness techniques to teach concrete practices for managing anxiety, lowering arousal, and grounding during stressful moments. Trauma-focused elements are used when trauma is a central concern, with attention to stabilizing symptoms and addressing traumatic memories at a pace set by the client.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then together decide which methods to prioritize. This is collaborative and may shift as therapy progresses.
The biography indicates he has provided online therapy in his practice history, but specific session formats are not listed here. Confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it possible to continue work without travel.
