CBT and Supportive Approaches for Online Care

Keran uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. CBT focuses on practical, skills-based strategies such as restructuring unhelpful thoughts and developing coping techniques that can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Alongside CBT, Keran emphasizes a supportive, client-centered approach that prioritizes empathy, validation, and collaborative problem solving. This style helps people process feelings like guilt, shame, and isolation while building motivation, self-esteem, and clearer communication skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Keran works with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access timely support, and engage in therapy from familiar surroundings while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
