Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the individual’s experience, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals and values guide the work. This approach is useful for people navigating identity questions, life transitions, and personal growth.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. It is often applied to concerns like worry, low mood, and sleep difficulties.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for regulating intense emotions, managing stress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, making it helpful for relationship conflicts, anger, and strong emotional reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kafayat works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to determine which methods best match a client’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as goals evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
