Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Bushra integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches to support clients in practical and relational ways. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take values-driven action to move forward - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust, offering ways to heal relational wounds and improve intimacy and communication. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the client’s perspective guides the pace and goals of work, supporting self-esteem, identity, and personal growth.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Bushra works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time as progress and priorities evolve, making decision making a shared process between therapist and client.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone allow real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide alternative ways to process thoughts and emotions between appointments. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and to fit therapy into busy or changing schedules.
