Approaches That Inform Remote Therapy
Rukhsana draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and can be useful for addressing intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and long-standing relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard and collaboration, helping clients feel heard while they explore self-esteem, family dynamics, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and offers practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rukhsana works collaboratively with each person to understand their goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods best fit the client’s needs. This shared planning helps tailor sessions to what will be most helpful for the individual.
