Therapeutic approaches and online care
Raj often uses client-centered therapy, which centers the conversation on each person’s experience and priorities and helps them make practical decisions that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another common method she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behavior experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Raj will review goals, symptoms, and preferences and suggest a path to try, adjusting methods as needed. That collaborative process helps determine whether talk-based work, trauma-focused techniques, or mindful practices are most useful for a given concern.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls suit in-depth sessions that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for ongoing coaching, quick reflections, or when you prefer writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and keep momentum between meetings.
