How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Krisha uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, acceptance, and working at the client’s pace to build trust and clarity. This approach often helps when people need a steady, empathic space to talk through difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Krisha discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods over time. She collaborates on a plan so the therapeutic approach matches needs and what feels doable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and practice strategies in day-to-day life.
