Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Esra uses a range of evidence-informed approaches to meet different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns to reduce distress and improve daily functioning - it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method for processing distressing memories and trauma responses, aiming to reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic experiences. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes learning to accept difficult feelings while identifying valued directions in life, supporting action toward meaningful goals even in the presence of discomfort.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Esra works with clients to explore which methods fit their situation, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds to ensure the therapy remains relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and communication styles. For many people, remote sessions make it easier to access licensed professionals while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow therapeutic work to continue across locations and life changes.
