About me

Hello, my name is Octavian Schitco. I am a freelance psychologist and offer psychological online counseling. I have a Psychology Degree from the State University of Moldova and have attended Psychology Courses at the Free University of Berlin, Germany. My online counselling is solution oriented, focused on your strenghts, non-judgemental and includes tools and methods from various areas of psychology. The counseling offers a safe and confidential space for you to express yourself and seek advice. My counseling approach is wide-ranging and influenced mainly by humanistic psychology (client centered psychology, cognitive-behavioral psychology, existential psychology).

Here are some common issues that could be part of our sessions

First Counseling Session

The first time we talk, we can assess whether this counseling service is appropriate for the client and one can get a general impression of the counseling format. I will also inform the client about limitations of this service and counseling format. In this session I would like to know what problems the client would like to address and work out some specific goals in case one decides to continue getting counseling.

The content of every session will be adjusted to the client´s needs.

Second Counseling Session

In the second session we continue with addressing specific issues and identifying realistic solutions. The focus is on improvements at the pace that is comfortable for the client. Another aspect that we could focus on are thinking and behavioral patterns and analyse what changes are possible in the current context. We will discuss the reciprocal influence of thinking, emotions and behavior and look at ways of changing irrational or maladaptive thoughts and behaviors.
