Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care
Bhuwaneshor "Bhu" Sharma draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values and take meaningful action even when difficult feelings are present. ACT is often used for anxiety, stress and life transitions where learning to accept sensations and focus on what matters can reduce struggle.
He also employs Client-Centered Therapy, a respectful, empathic approach that prioritises the person’s own perspective and supports self-directed growth. This approach is helpful for grief, relationship issues and situations where rebuilding trust and confidence is a focus.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to depression, anxiety and other common problems. CBT provides practical skills for managing mood, improving coping and solving everyday difficulties.
Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore goals, preferences and responses to different methods and adjusts the plan over time to match changing needs.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling, easier access for those with mobility or location constraints, and multiple communication options so people can choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
