Therapeutic approaches and remote support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and build practical habits that align with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, life transitions and patterns that get in the way of daily living. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating and emotional connection developed in relationships - it supports work on intimacy, relationship difficulties and attachment-related concerns by exploring how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening and unconditional positive regard from the therapist so clients can explore their experience, build self-understanding and strengthen self-esteem; it often supports people working through grief, depression and personal growth goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rakshita works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best suit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques as therapy progresses so the plan matches each person’s pace and priorities.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling, easier access for those with mobility or time constraints, and a way to maintain continuity of care across life changes. Registered professionals can provide effective therapeutic support through these formats while working with clients across a range of concerns and goals.
