Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, tools that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation when dealing with grief, trauma responses, or ongoing stress. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, client-centered approach that helps people find their own motivation to make changes, which can be especially useful for addictions, career shifts, or when ambivalence about change is present.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Sheba works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend methods to meet a client's unique situation.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow people to access care from home or while managing busy schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into work or family commitments, and try different formats to see what feels most helpful.
