Therapeutic approaches for flexible online support
Malini blends well-established methods to help clients explore challenges and develop practical strategies. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience - the therapist offers empathy and support while the client leads the pace and direction of change. This approach is useful for building self-understanding, confidence and emotional resilience.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learn practical techniques to manage symptoms of anxiety, low mood and stress. It tends to be structured and goal-oriented, making progress easier to track over time.
Hypnotherapy is a complementary approach Malini may use to support relaxation, focus and habit change; it is often suited to work on issues such as stress, cravings and confidence when combined with other therapeutic strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Malini works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists can combine techniques to create a tailored path forward.
