Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Niija integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and life transitions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and commit to actions that align with what matters most, which can be useful during times of change or uncertainty. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, creating a space where a person’s goals and perspective guide the process and relationship work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety and improve coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Niija works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they experiment with strategies and adjust the plan to promote steady progress.

Online sessions allow these evidence-based approaches to be delivered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options increase flexibility for scheduling, make it easier to access support from home or work, and allow sessions to fit different communication styles and daily routines.
