Evidence-based approaches and how online therapy supports them

Ritika uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's needs. One common focus is anxiety management through practical skill-building - learning coping strategies, pacing, and mindful techniques to reduce the intensity of anxious episodes and improve daily functioning. These approaches help with generalized anxiety, panic symptoms, and social anxiety.

She also employs trauma-informed methods that prioritise safety, stabilization, and gradual processing of distressing experiences. This approach is aimed at reducing the impact of past harm on present-day mood, relationships, and self-esteem. For relationship and communication concerns, Ritika works on improving interpersonal skills, boundary-setting, and conflict resolution to strengthen connections and reduce recurring patterns of misunderstanding.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Ritika collaborates with clients to identify which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and life context, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Online therapy offers practical benefits for this work - video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions provide flexibility, and live chat or text-based messaging offers real-time or ongoing support between sessions. These options increase accessibility and make it easier to integrate therapy into a busy life while working toward meaningful change.
