About Anupama
Anupama Masih is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She draws on 20 years of clinical experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, depression, trauma and parenting concerns. She aims to listen with sensitivity and tailor sessions to each person's needs.
Her approach combines practical skills with emotional support. She uses strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to manage intense emotions and improve coping. Sessions focus on small, doable steps that fit daily life. Masih has worked with people dealing with intimacy-related issues, panic attacks, domestic violence, and infidelity.
She adapts the pace of therapy to match what someone can handle right now, balancing problem-solving with emotional safety. She describes the therapeutic relationship as collaborative and respectful. In sessions she integrates clients' values and, when relevant, faith perspectives into treatment planning.
She encourages parents who feel overwhelmed to try concrete strategies for routines, boundaries, and self-care. The goal is clearer communication and steadier mood over time. People can expect a straightforward, warm style.
Anupama listens first, then helps build a plan that includes skills practice between sessions. She supports gradual change and checks progress regularly.

How CBT and DBT translate to online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It helps with anxiety, low mood, panic attacks, and stress by teaching practical skills to change thought patterns and behavior. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. DBT techniques are useful for intense emotions, panic, and relationship conflict and often involve step-by-step skill practice.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will suggest CBT, DBT, or a combination based on what fits best. Together they monitor progress and adjust techniques if something is not helping.
Online formats offer practical flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face-to-face for deeper work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, skill coaching between sessions, and ongoing accountability. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines.
