Online Consultation with a Medical Psychologist — Professional Help Wherever You Live
If you live in another city or country, travel frequently, have moved abroad, or simply want to keep working with the same specialist no matter where you live, the consultation can be held online, provided a remote format suits your situation.
During the consultation we go through your request in detail — the history of the problem, your current psychological state, any previous experience seeking help — and identify the next steps.
Natalia Zentsova is a Doctor of Psychological Sciences, medical psychologist, and professor at the Department of Pedagogy and Medical Psychology at Sechenov University. Over 20 years of professional practice.

What You Can Bring to an Online Consultation
A Russian-Speaking Psychologist Online, If You Live Abroad
Moving to another country can come with the loss of a familiar environment, changes in social and professional status, loneliness, separation from loved ones, language difficulties, and the need to rebuild everyday life from scratch.
For many people it matters a great deal to be able to discuss difficult experiences in Russian and to keep working with the same specialist even when their country of residence changes.
An online format makes it possible to keep the psychological work consistent through relocations, business trips, and extended periods living abroad.
Online Consultations for Russian-Speaking Clients Around the World
You can request an online consultation while in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, or elsewhere. Whether remote work is suitable depends on the nature of your request and your specific situation.
How an Online Consultation Works
You book a consultation and we agree on a time that works with your time zone
At the first session we discuss your request and current situation in detail
We go through the history of the problem, how it has developed, and any previous help you've sought
We identify the main psychological goals
We discuss possible next steps and the format of the psychological work
If the situation calls for a physician or another specialist, I recommend consulting the appropriate professional
For complex cases, the work can continue as a second expert opinion or personal support
If Relocation Has Left You Struggling Psychologically
Even a planned and welcome move can bring anxiety, loneliness, a sense of losing your familiar life, difficulty adjusting, changes in relationships with loved ones, and professional uncertainty.
The consultation can help identify what exactly is causing the tension, distinguish a natural period of adjustment from more serious psychological difficulties, and determine what support is needed going forward.
Online Help with Dependence and Repeated Relapses
Online work can focus on motivation for change, understanding triggers, working with cravings and the psychological causes of use, relapse prevention, and support after treatment or rehabilitation.
Family members of someone with a dependence can also reach out separately, to work through their own behavioral strategy, boundaries, and ways of interacting. In cases of intoxication, overdose, severe withdrawal, or a need for medical treatment, medical care must be sought locally, wherever the person is.
Second Expert Opinion Online
If you've already consulted several specialists, gone through treatment, rehabilitation, or extended psychological work, but the problem persists or the recommendations you've received contradict one another, you can start with an independent review of the psychological side of your situation. We organize the history of the problem and the help you've had so far, identify the questions that remain unresolved, and discuss a possible way forward.

If a single consultation isn't enough, if extended psychological work is needed, if several specialists need to be involved, or if help is needed organizing care in Russia or abroad, the personal support format is worth discussing.

More About MeWhen Urgent or In-Person Help Is Needed
A scheduled online consultation does not replace emergency or necessary medical care. In cases of an immediate threat to life, suicidal intent or a plan, significant impairment of consciousness, overdose, severe withdrawal, a psychotic state, seizures, or any other acute condition, you must contact your local emergency or medical service.
In certain situations, in-person diagnostics or help from a local specialist may also be required.
