Approaches to Therapy and Practical Online Care



Mahroo Moshari draws on client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients guide the pace and focus of their work; this approach helps with self-esteem, identity questions, and relationship concerns by centering the client’s experience. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured method that examines how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors and is effective for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Additionally, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is employed to explore emotional patterns in close relationships and to improve attachment, communication, and intimacy-related issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. Mahroo will work with each person to identify goals, preferences, and practical needs, and then tailor a blend of methods that best fits the client’s situation.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in this work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or ongoing text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity when life is unpredictable, and access licensed professionals without geographic constraints, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on meaningful, effective progress.
