Therapeutic approaches and the benefits of online care

Rabia frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult feelings are present. ACT focuses on increasing psychological flexibility and can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which works by identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to change them. CBT is often effective for anxiety, depression, and managing day-to-day stress.

Mindfulness Therapy is another approach Rabia incorporates, teaching present-focused awareness and self-compassion techniques that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Rabia works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps determine which techniques fit best for a given situation.

Online therapy offers practical advantages for many people - it provides flexibility to meet by video calls, by phone, through live chat, or via text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives or to access therapists when location is a barrier. Licensed professionals can deliver effective, empathetic care through these formats while accommodating different schedules and communication preferences.
