How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Karishma Samaroo integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing into online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a practical, skills-focused approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Motivational Interviewing centers on exploring a person’s motivation and ambivalence about change to build commitment and momentum for goals such as recovery from substance use or lifestyle adjustments.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Samaroo treats that choice as collaborative. She assesses a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time so therapy stays aligned with what matters most to the client.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity of care, and access licensed professionals from a location that works for the client.
