Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Faizah integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship so clients can explore their goals and values. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety and low mood. DBT emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for managing intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and self-directed behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Faizah collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy remains relevant and responsive to each person’s circumstances.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and reducing travel barriers. These options support consistent access to licensed professionals and allow conversations to continue in ways that feel most workable for each individual, helping therapy remain practical and accessible alongside daily responsibilities.
