Therapeutic approaches for online support and growth
Abneet uses client-centered therapy to create an accepting, nonjudgmental space where clients set the pace and priorities; this approach helps when someone needs support exploring identity, values, and relationships. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and compulsive behaviors. Mindfulness therapy is incorporated to help clients build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to difficult emotions, which can be useful for stress, rumination, and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Abneet works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so that therapy remains relevant and focused on measurable progress.
