How are online consultations with a psychologist (psychotherapist)?

All our work can be briefly divided into stages that you need to go through in the process of psychotherapy.

FIRST ACQUAINTANCE At the first meeting, as part of the FREE 15 MINUTESWe get to know each other, discuss various organizational issues and negotiate the terms and rules of further work.
TROUBLESHOOTING First we will look at and describe your problem in detail. It may be different from what you have diagnosed yourself. Only then will we begin treatment.
DIAGNOSTICS AND PSYCHOTHERAPY I will ask you various questions about certain events in your life, family, relationships, etc. I also practice "homework", which will allow us to speed up the process of therapy and develop useful skills. The main guarantee of successful therapy is your sincerity in your feelings, experiences and openness in the work. Please note that, if necessary, I can schedule additional examinations and tests for you at your place of residence.
WORK COMPLETION If necessary, we repeat the diagnosis and consolidate the achieved result. We also provide "maintenance psychotherapy", which is when a patient periodically (every six months or a year) seeks the necessary help to correct his or her condition.

What is the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist, psychotherapist?

A psychologist The main task of a psychologist is to carry out various psychological tests (professional orientation, professional suitability, etc.), to conduct primary diagnostics to clarify the type of disease. The main task of a psychologist is to conduct various psychological tests (professional orientation, professional suitability, etc.), to conduct primary diagnostics to clarify the type of disease. They also practice psychological counseling. A psychologist may not treat, provide medical psychotherapy, or draw conclusions about the severity or cause of an illness. Nor may he or she recommend or prescribe medication.

PsychiatristsThey tend to deal with "severe" mental illnesses and actively use medications to treat them.

Psychotherapists work with milder mental disorders, as well as borderline conditions, when a person is on the verge of illness but not yet ill.

What number of counseling sessions will be required?

From my personal experience, in order to achieve a positive outcome, the client needs to 1 - 2 counseling 90 minutes each. in mild casesusually childhood or family issues. And at a minimum, 5 - 6 consultations for those in need in psychotherapy and has a mental disorder or illness.

In any case, it will only be possible to talk in more detail about the number of consultations after diagnosis.

Do you do counseling over the phone?

Yes, in my experience, online counseling is not inferior in effectiveness to face-to-face counseling, but only if the professionalism and sufficient experience of the specialist leading this consultation. And in some cases, remote counseling is even more effective, as it is easier for a person to relax and open up, respectively, and faster to make "contact" in familiar and familiar conditions.

I conduct counseling in a way that is convenient for the client. If it is convenient for the client to communicate by phone (or anonymity is very important), I just use a format that is more effective for telephone counseling.

I have a very sensitive issue and would like to do the counseling as anonymously as possible.

I am providing this opportunity. More details here.

If you feel more comfortable working this way and feel secure, it is only a plus for the effectiveness of the therapy.

On the Internet I have found prices for psychologists' services much lower than yours. Why do you have such a price?

The prices for my services are average on the market of psychological services for CIS countries.

For comparison, in European countries with a high standard of living and greater prosperity, the cost of consultations with a similarly experienced and knowledgeable specialist can be as follows 150 - 200 Euros. In the U.S., the price of a good therapist's services can start at from $200.

The cost of services directly depends on the specifics of work, experience and knowledge of the psychotherapist, further the price is influenced by the demand for this service. In the CIS countries the demand for psychologists (psychotherapists) is in the stage of active growth, so there may simply not be enough experienced specialists for those who want them. This trend will contribute to further price increases.

Unfortunately, the growing demand for the services of psychologists leads to the fact that on the Internet there are more and more "specialists" who, in fact, are far from this sphere or are just beginning to work in it. The average person, far from psychology, it is very difficult to distinguish a good specialist from a "beginner" and even diplomas and certificates do not give any guarantees, not to mention the reviews on the site from "real" clients. It remains to hope for the recommendations of acquaintances or start looking for real reviews of the specialist on third-party resources.

Where can I find feedback on the quality of your work?

Perhaps there are reviews on various sites - services, collecting in their directories of doctors by specialty.

On my site I have long since not published any reviews, because any thinking person is just bound to doubt their reliability and truthfulness, and to check whether they are fictitious or not is simply unrealistic.

So, what should we do then? - you ask.

There is a way out! You can go to the section FREE CONSULTATIONS and read my answers to real user questions or even ask your own question. Hundreds of questions have already accumulated there, and I have already given answers to them. Many of my clients, who were in doubt, signed up for a consultation with me after this first "meeting" with me.

I need a psychiatrist. I have a complicated problem. Can you help me?

The first step is to find out if you really need a psychiatrist. People often confuse psychiatrists, psychotherapists and even psychologists. But these are different specialists who work with different problems and diseases. They also have very different approaches to treatment.

I can only be more specific after the first diagnosis, when I have made a diagnosis.

I work with a large list of mental disorders and psychological illnesses. You can read more about the list at this page.
