Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so the client feels heard and supported while exploring goals and values. This approach is especially helpful for building self-esteem, clarifying life purpose, and addressing relationship concerns in a way that centers the person’s own perspective.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills to manage symptoms. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, mood regulation, and developing coping strategies for everyday stressors.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and shift emotional responses within close relationships, which can improve intimacy, attachment patterns, and family dynamics. Licensed professionals often use EFT to support couples and family members in reconnecting and navigating strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rasheda will work with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to stay consistent with care, access support from home, and use a mix of real-time and ongoing messaging to reinforce progress between sessions.
