Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them, and it focuses on identifying personal values to guide meaningful action. It can support those struggling with anxiety, low mood, or a sense of aimlessness.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead, helping individuals build self-understanding and confidence. This approach can be particularly helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and processing life changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties and aims to produce skills clients can use beyond sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Ghada will collaborate with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as work progresses.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for clients who live at a distance or across borders. These options allow consistent access to licensed professionals and make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while maintaining continuity of care.
