Hassan works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, clarify goals, and adapt methods over time so the treatment fits the individual's preferences and circumstances. This process is iterative and responsive to progress and feedback.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - clients can meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from different locations within California. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide consistent, goal-oriented work while tailoring pace and focus to each client.
