Online support
How specific approaches translate to online therapy
Khadeeja often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by giving clear steps to try between sessions.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to build a person’s own reasons for change. This approach focuses on listening, exploring ambivalence, and helping someone find energy and commitment to try new strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Khadeeja will review needs, goals, and preferences with each person and choose methods together. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to short-term goals or longer healing work depending on what the client wants.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or eye contact is a concern. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, scheduling, and brief coaching-style support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep momentum between meetings.
