She also addresses everyday pressures such as relationship difficulties, parenting stress, burnout and self-esteem concerns. The work is flexible and tailored - practical plans and skills are developed together so clients can begin making changes now rather than waiting for everything to be perfect.

Approaches for Online Support and Skill Building

Najma uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unwanted thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them - the focus is on clarifying values and taking actionable steps toward a meaningful life, which can be helpful for anxiety, low motivation and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps rebuild safer ways of relating - this approach supports work on relationships, attachment issues and family challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it effective for anxiety, depression and many daily coping problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Najma works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Najma is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals and therapists without rearranging life around appointments, and they allow ongoing skill practice between sessions to support steady progress.
