Therapeutic approaches and online care with Nikoo Arbabsiyar
Nikoo works primarily with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured approach that helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to manage symptoms like anxiety and depression. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on building psychological flexibility by helping people accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that align with their values. When emotions and attachment patterns are central, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to deepen emotional awareness and improve relational responses.Nikoo approaches the choice of method collaboratively, recognizing that finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. She discusses goals, preferences, and the nature of presenting concerns with each person and adapts the plan so the therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single technique.
Online therapy with Nikoo is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, and other commitments and allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that are convenient for them. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats effectively to deliver evidence-informed care tailored to each client’s needs.
