Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions by teaching skills that foster psychological flexibility and purposeful living.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and early bonding patterns to understand how connection and trust affect current emotional responses. This approach can be helpful for attachment issues, relationship challenges, trauma, and parenting concerns by rebuilding secure ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes because it emphasizes skill-building and structured problem solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Narayan works collaboratively with clients to choose and adapt methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, with flexibility to blend approaches as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical convenience through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and daily life. These options increase access to licensed professionals and allow therapy to continue even when in-person visits are difficult, supporting consistent progress and ongoing care.
