Hélas, Lina n’offre pas encore de suivis en français pour le moment.
I work with a wide array of psychological issues, providing support and therapy tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I offer individual psychological counselling and psychotherapy for teens (14+) and adults, as well as couples and families.
Languages: English, Lithuanian, Russian, and Dutch.
Among others, I work with:
- Depression and anxiety
- Trauma & PTSD
- Suicidal thoughts (crisis intervention, safety planning, and ongoing therapy to manage and reduce suicidal ideation)
- Finding meaning (guidance in exploring and understanding life’s purpose and personal values)
- Substance abuse (counseling and support for overcoming addiction, including strategies for relapse prevention)
- Sexual addictions
- Relationship issues (couples therapy and individual counseling to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships)
- Career choices
- Life transitions (expatration, retirement, divorce, becoming a parent)
- Self-Esteem (building confidence and self-worth)
- Stress Management
It is often said that people do not change—and in a sense, that’s reassuring. At their core, people remain the same. I believe that psychotherapy is not about changing who we are; it is about discovering our true self, embracing it, and letting go of what does not truly belong to us. Therapy is ultimately a journey toward our most authentic selves.
My journey as a psychologist-psychotherapist began with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), one of the most scientifically supported forms of therapy. However, I soon realized that while CBT is effective, it doesn’t always address deeper questions about life, such as meaning and purpose, authenticity, uncertainty, and alike.
Over the past decade, I have delved into Existential and humanistic psychotherapy, embracing a more holistic and client-centered approach to better understand the lived experiences of clients and myself.
When words alone are not enough to express thoughts and feelings, I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to provide an alternative path to healing.
Drawing inspiration from these therapies, I tailor my approach to each person I work with, focusing on what could be the most helpful in one’s unique situation at a given moment.
