Approaches that guide online therapy



Rukhsana works with several evidence-informed approaches adapted for online care. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns - it helps people address trust, closeness, and abandonment concerns by exploring relational history and emotional responses. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the center of the work, offering a warm, non-judgemental stance that supports self-exploration and builds confidence to make desired changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical strategies and skills training, often useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rukhsana collaborates with each person to identify which methods best align with their goals, preferences, and the issues they want to address, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Rukhsana is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists regardless of location, and they allow people to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
