Approaches That Guide Online Care
Malika often draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely to a person's experience and supporting them to identify their own goals and solutions. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, increasing motivation, and strengthening personal insight. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is practical for addressing anxiety, depression, and skills for coping with everyday stressors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy attends to the emotional responses that shape relationships and helps people understand and reshape interaction patterns, making it useful for couples work and improving family dynamics.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Malika works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time as clients make progress or as challenges change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, and other commitments, and they allow ongoing access to support when in-person meetings are impractical. For many people, remote sessions make consistent engagement with therapy more manageable and sustainable.
