She believes there is no single path that fits everyone. Masha starts by listening to what matters to each person. Then she focuses on practical steps that match a person's life and goals.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to emphasize clear goals, small experiments, and skills people can use between meetings. Masha draws on several common approaches, including acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and client-centered conversations. She uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns and find motivation to change.
The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Her experience includes work with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, mood struggles, sleep and eating issues, parenting strain, and problems tied to work or life transitions. Additional focuses include codependency, communication problems, infidelity, and process addictions among others.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by phone, video, chat, or text messaging. People interested in beginning pick Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that fits. Masha aims to bring respect, warmth, and a straightforward approach to each session.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward what matters most. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by clarifying values and small steps forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning; it is practical for anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep or eating problems. Client-Centered Therapy creates space for people to speak freely while the therapist reflects and supports their own problem-solving and self-understanding.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Changes are paced so people can try strategies and adjust based on what helps.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when you want it. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit a shorter check-in. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief support, check-ins between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while still using evidence-based approaches.
