About Elisabeta

Elisabeta Oltean writes warmly and directly about codependency and related struggles. She makes space for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, low mood, relationship strain or past trauma. Elisabeta aims to help people name what is painful and find small, steady steps forward. She works in English and Romanian and practises from the United Kingdom.

Elisabeta uses straightforward, practical methods drawn from acceptance and commitment ways of working and client-centred work. Sessions focus on noticing thoughts and feelings, choosing values-based actions, and building stronger self-support. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools are also part of her approach when they suit the person.

Her background includes six years of professional experience and a BACP credential, which is shown as BACP. She has supported people with anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, sleep problems, parenting stress and intimacy concerns among other issues. Codependency is listed among her focus areas.

Elisabeta describes therapy as collaborative. She aims to help people reconnect with their own strengths and to practise new ways of responding to difficult feelings. Sessions move at a pace set by the client and concentrate on practical exercises as well as conversational work.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's timetable. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and to choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, codependency and problems that feel stuck. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person to find their own solutions; it can help rebuild self-worth and improve decision-making when life feels hard.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together they decide which methods to use. This keeps the work collaborative and tailored to what the person needs that week.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online approaches can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel. They also allow brief check-ins when a short session is helpful, and written or voice check-ins when a different pace suits the person. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt mindfulness and acceptance exercises to an online setting so people practise new skills between sessions.
