Η Παναγιωτίδου Αναστασία είναι Ψυχολόγος MSc και Γνωσιακή-Συμπεριφορική Θεραπεύτρια Διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στην περιοχή της Πανόρμου, στην Αθήνα, όπου παρέχει υπηρεσίες ψυχολογικής υποστήριξης και ψυχοθεραπείας. Έχει πραγματοποιήσει μεταπτυχιακές σπουδές στον χώρο της Υγείας και έχει εξειδικευτεί στη Γνωσιακή-Συμπεριφορική Ψυχοθεραπεία (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy – CBT). Στην ψυχοθεραπευτική της πρακτική θεωρεί ιδιαίτερα σημαντική τη δημιουργία μιας σχέσης ασφάλειας, εμπιστοσύνης και αποδοχής, μέσα στην οποία κάθε άνθρωπος μπορεί να εκφράσει ελεύθερα όσα τον απασχολούν, με τον δικό του ρυθμό και χωρίς τον φόβο της κριτικής. Κάθε θεραπευόμενος έχει τη δική του προσωπική ιστορία, τις εμπειρίες, τις ανάγκες και τους στόχους του και, για τον λόγο αυτό, η θεραπευτική διαδικασία διαμορφώνεται εξατομικευμένα.

Μέσα από τη Γνωσιακή-Συμπεριφορική Προσέγγιση, δίνεται έμφαση στην κατανόηση της αλληλεπίδρασης μεταξύ σκέψεων, συναισθημάτων και συμπεριφορών. Ο τρόπος με τον οποίο αντιλαμβανόμαστε και ερμηνεύουμε τον εαυτό μας, τους άλλους και τις καταστάσεις που βιώνουμε μπορεί να επηρεάζει σημαντικά το πώς αισθανόμαστε και πώς αντιδρούμε. Στη θεραπευτική διαδικασία αναγνωρίζονται μοτίβα σκέψης και συμπεριφοράς που μπορεί να συντηρούν μια δυσκολία και διερευνώνται νέοι, περισσότερο λειτουργικοί τρόποι κατανόησης και αντιμετώπισής της. Η θεραπευτική υποστήριξη μπορεί να αφορά ένα ευρύ φάσμα συναισθηματικών και διαπροσωπικών δυσκολιών, όπως άγχος, φοβίες, δυσκολίες στη διάθεση και στην αυτοεκτίμηση, προβλήματα στις διαπροσωπικές και συντροφικές σχέσεις, δυσκολίες προσαρμογής σε αλλαγές και απαιτητικές περιόδους ζωής. Παράλληλα, παρέχεται θεραπεία ζεύγους και συμβουλευτική γονέων, ανάλογα με τις ανάγκες και το αίτημα των θεραπευόμενων. Στόχος της θεραπευτικής διαδικασίας είναι όχι μόνο η ανακούφιση από τα συμπτώματα, αλλά και η βαθύτερη κατανόηση των παραγόντων που σχετίζονται με την εμφάνιση ή τη διατήρηση μιας δυσκολίας. Μέσα από την αναγνώριση δυσλειτουργικών πεποιθήσεων και επαναλαμβανόμενων μοτίβων, καθώς και την ανάπτυξη νέων δεξιοτήτων, ο θεραπευόμενος ενθαρρύνεται να διαμορφώσει περισσότερο λειτουργικούς τρόπους σκέψης, συναισθηματικής διαχείρισης και συμπεριφοράς. Η θεραπεία διαμορφώνεται ως μια ενεργή και συνεργατική διαδικασία, στην οποία θεραπευτής και θεραπευόμενος θέτουν από κοινού τους θεραπευτικούς στόχους και εργάζονται συστηματικά προς την επίτευξή τους. Ανάλογα με τις ανάγκες του κάθε ανθρώπου, αξιοποιούνται επιστημονικά τεκμηριωμένες γνωσιακές και συμπεριφορικές τεχνικές, καθώς και πρακτικά εργαλεία που μπορούν να εφαρμοστούν και στην καθημερινή ζωή. Βασικός στόχος είναι ο θεραπευόμενος να κατανοήσει καλύτερα τον εαυτό του και τις δυσκολίες που αντιμετωπίζει, να αναπτύξει αποτελεσματικότερους τρόπους διαχείρισής τους και να αποκτήσει δεξιότητες που θα ενισχύσουν την αυτονομία, την ψυχική ανθεκτικότητα, τις σχέσεις και συνολικά την ποιότητα της ζωής του.
