Meltem Bora

In my clinical practice, I adopt an integrative, evidence-based, and LGBTQ+ affirmative therapeutic approach, grounded primarily in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and informed by health psychology principles. As a health psychology professional, I work at the intersection of psychological well-being, physical health, lifestyle factors, and neuropsychiatric processes. I support clients in understanding the connection between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and physiological responses, with a focus on stress regulation, psychosomatic symptoms, emotional resilience, and adaptive coping strategies. My therapeutic work is collaborative, goal-oriented, and highly personalized. I emphasize identifying clients’ existing strengths, resources, and values while helping them develop practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, migration stress, identity-related challenges, chronic stress, and adjustment difficulties. Drawing from solution-focused techniques, I aim to foster hope, self-efficacy, and sustainable change by focusing not only on problems, but also on possibilities and achievable goals. My practice is culturally sensitive and trauma-informed, providing a safe, non-judgmental, and inclusive space for individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, migration histories, and gender or sexual identities. Through online individual therapy, I offer a flexible and accessible therapeutic environment tailored to each client’s unique life context. My approach integrates scientific rigor with human connection, supporting clients in building insight, emotional balance, and long-term psychological well-being while navigating complex personal, social, and health-related challenges.
