Psychological problems

Emotional suffering further hinders a person in everyday functioning, creating new problems and trapping them in a vicious cycle. Professional help breaks that cycle.

Understanding the problem

When emotions become an obstacle

By remaining in a self-defeating state without resolving the problem, a person undermines their own pursuit of personal goals and endures needless suffering.

Emotional states such as anxiety, depression, anger and stress become dysfunctional when they interfere with a person's everyday functioning. These states can be triggered by external factors — sudden stressful events, prolonged conflicts at work or in relationships — or by internal factors such as developmental crises and hormonal changes.

It is essential to understand that different people react differently to identical situations. What determines the development of an emotional disorder is not the event itself, but the way we interpret it. This is precisely where psychotherapy has the greatest impact.

Areas of treatment

I specialize in six areas where cognitive-behavioral therapy delivers outstanding results

Anxiety

Anxiety disorders are the most common emotional disorders, affecting both young people and adults. They fill life with overwhelming anxiety and fear that are chronic, intense and can progressively worsen.

Depression

A serious emotional disorder that significantly contributes to problems in relationships with others, suffering within the family and loss of work productivity. People with depression feel helplessness and hopelessness.

Anger

Anger is a completely normal and healthy human emotion. But when it gets out of control, anger turns into rage and becomes destructive — it can lead to problems at work, in personal relationships and in overall quality of life.

Stress

The fast pace of life, interpersonal relationships, workplace competition and the struggle for survival are a continuous source of stress. The consequences of leaving stress unaddressed range from poor health, through broken marriages and job loss, to premature death.

Assertiveness

Expressing your own thoughts, feelings and beliefs in a direct, honest and appropriate way, while respecting the rights of others. Non-assertive people struggle to refuse unreasonable requests, have low self-esteem and a sense of frustration.

Marital and relationship crises

People enter marital and relationship crises because their expectations are largely unrealistic. Crises arise when one partner reacts inadequately to normal frustrations, mutual tolerance declines, and communication breaks down.

When to seek help?

Five signs it's time to talk to a professional

There is no need to wait for the situation to become critical. The earlier you seek help, the better the results and the shorter the treatment. The outlook for recovery among people who use professional help is very good.

01

Your problems affect everyday functioning — work, relationships, sleep

02

You feel you cannot cope with the situation on your own despite trying

03

The problems last a long time and do not improve, or are getting worse

04

Your relationships with the people close to you suffer because of your emotional difficulties

05

You have noticed physical symptoms of stress — headaches, tension, insomnia

How therapy works

From the first contact to independence — the four phases of the recovery process

Contact

Reach out by phone, text message or email. Briefly describe the reason for getting in touch and we will arrange a first appointment.

Assessment

We get to know each other and analyze your problem together. We create a treatment plan with clear goals.

Active work

Regular weekly sessions with concrete CBT techniques. Between sessions, you apply what you have learned in everyday life.

Independence

You gradually develop the skills to handle challenges on your own. A follow-up session after 6 months.

Client experiences

I had anger problems that were threatening my relationships. Now I can recognize my triggers and respond in a constructive way. Therapy gave me the tools to keep working on myself for life.
— Client S.V., Anger management
For years I endured panic attacks that paralyzed me. I learned to recognize and stop the spiral of anxious thoughts before they escalated into panic. Now I live without the fear of the next attack.
— Client M.K., Panic disorder
I thought therapy was for 'weak' people. Now I know it was the bravest thing I have done for myself and my family. Dr Krnetić helped me see things from a completely new perspective.
— Client D.R., Family therapy

Approach to treatment

Principles that ensure the effectiveness of therapy regardless of the type of problem

Collaboration

We work together as a team, where you actively take part in the process of change and learn skills for the future

Practicality

A focus on concrete skills and strategies you can apply in everyday life right away

Scientific grounding

Methods whose effectiveness has been proven through research and clinical practice around the world

Frequently asked questions

How long does a session last?

50 minutes. The first session may last a little longer because it includes getting acquainted and assessment.

How many sessions are needed?

On average 10-16 sessions for most problems. Some problems are resolved in 1-2 sessions, while more complex ones require longer work.

Is therapy confidential?

Absolutely. Everything you share during a session remains strictly confidential, in accordance with professional codes of ethics.

Do I need a referral?

No. You can get in touch directly by phone, text message, Viber or email. No referral or recommendation is required.

Can I use online sessions?

Yes. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person ones for most problems. All you need is an internet connection and a private place.

How much does therapy cost?

The price of a session is available on the payment page. There is an option to pay in packages at a discount.
