Therapeutic Approaches and Care Online

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections and trust. It can be useful for people working through attachment issues, codependency, relationship strains, or feelings of isolation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with motivation or self-esteem by teaching practical skills to manage day-to-day challenges.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions within close relationships and helps partners or individuals improve communication, process intense feelings, and repair ruptures in connection. It can be especially relevant for relationship difficulties, infidelity, and communication problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Poonam collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow people to engage in therapy from locations that work for them and to select formats that match their comfort level and schedule while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
