Approaches for online therapy and how they help

Afsheen frequently integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into his online work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and acceptance, creating a respectful space where clients can explore feelings and grow at their own pace - it is especially helpful for building self-esteem and navigating identity concerns.

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical strategies to manage anxiety, stress, and addictive behaviors. It tends to be action-oriented and useful for clients who want structured tools to change reactions and behaviors.

DBT teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can support people dealing with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, or patterns of impulsivity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Afsheen works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors a plan that may draw from one or more methods to best support progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from different locations, and maintain continuity with licensed professionals and therapists regardless of travel or daily demands.
