Approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps with anxiety, stress and making values-based changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce symptoms like low mood or worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and can help with trust, closeness and communication difficulties.Sajeevani treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to choose or combine methods based on their goals, preferences and what feels useful in practice. Together they revise the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online options, check the current session formats before booking so you know what is available. Online work can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions around work or caregiving, and allow for quieter check-ins when a shorter session suits. Confirm the exact delivery method when you arrange sessions and discuss any practical needs with the counsellor so therapy fits your routine.
