Therapeutic approaches and online care
Aabeda Fatmi uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment where the client’s perspective guides the work - this approach focuses on active listening, validation, and building on each person’s strengths to address issues like relationship concerns, self-esteem, and family conflict. She also incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and develop practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and change behaviors that interfere with goals. Mindfulness therapy is another tool she employs to help clients cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce stress through simple attention and breathing practices.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Aabeda works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time, inviting feedback and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
