Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care



Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of emotion and connection. In short sessions this approach helps people understand how their attachment history affects stress responses, relationship dynamics, and intimacy, and it can be useful for couples, families, and individuals working through trust or bonding difficulties.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop practical strategies to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes because it emphasizes concrete tools for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience and priorities, offering a supportive space to explore feelings and decisions without judgment. This approach is helpful when someone needs empathetic listening and collaborative goal-setting to navigate grief, identity questions, or major life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mariam works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work stays aligned with what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit care into a busy life and to connect across distance. These options support greater flexibility in scheduling, allow for continuity when in-person visits are difficult, and let therapists and clients focus on practical progress in ways that match the client’s lifestyle.
