Integrating evidence-based approaches with flexible online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and build direction in life by learning to accept difficult thoughts and take value-based action. It can be useful for persistent worry, low motivation, and feeling stuck.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early connections influence current emotions and behaviors. This approach can support work on abandonment fears, attachment issues, and relationship difficulties by fostering safer ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. CBT often includes practical exercises and skill-building to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Sima Patel treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. She and the client will work together to identify which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home, maintain continuity of care across life changes, and use the communication style that best supports ongoing work toward personal goals.
