Elena Ciortescu

Elena Ciortescu is a psychotherapist who uses relational, person-focused care to help people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and anger. She works with individuals who feel overwhelmed by change, identity shifts or emotional pain, and aims to provide steady support during difficult times.

Her style blends several established approaches such as attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural techniques with client-centred listening. Sessions are practical and conversational. Elena helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and build on what already works for them.

Elena brings ten years of experience from private practice, education and the charity sector. That mix of settings means she is used to helping people from different backgrounds and life stages. She emphasises clear, honest conversation rather than jargon or quick fixes.

She also runs online group therapy that combines structured activities with open discussion and peer support. These groups aim to normalise difficult feelings and teach coping tools that people can use between sessions.

Elena holds NCPS, which is shown here as provided in her background. She offers sessions in English and Romanian and accepts international clients. To begin, readers are invited to use the site process to match and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Elena's approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions using this approach help people recognise where old relationship patterns affect current behaviour and try new ways of relating. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT often uses short exercises and clear skill-building to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Elena works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. She checks in together about what is helping and adapts plans as sessions progress so the work stays relevant.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by removing travel time or making scheduling across time zones simpler. Some people find shorter check-ins useful when days are busy, while others prefer regular full sessions. Please confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Overall, the goal is to help people practise coping skills, reflect on relationships and make steady progress without upending daily routines.
