Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to clarify what matters most to them and to build practical skills for accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by shifting focus from symptom control to value-driven living.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that form in close relationships and on how early experiences influence present-day trust, intimacy, and emotional regulation. It is useful for people coping with abandonment, attachment wounds, relationship conflict, and family difficulties.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic relationship in which the therapist follows the client s lead and supports self-discovery. This gentle, person-focused approach can benefit those working through self-esteem, identity, and decision-making challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Raj collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what feels most helpful and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to maintain continuity during life changes, and to connect with a registered professional from different locations.
