Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, panic, and many stress-related concerns by teaching practical skills for coping and problem solving.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT is helpful for intense emotions, impulsivity, relationship difficulties, and patterns of self-destructive behavior.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in ways that reduce their ongoing impact. It can support people dealing with post-traumatic stress, abuse histories, and other trauma-related symptoms.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nasir works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and then tailors interventions accordingly rather than applying a single method. This collaborative planning helps identify what will feel most helpful and practical.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or connect across distances. These options support ongoing access to therapy and allow therapists and clients to adapt how they meet as progress unfolds.
