Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Uma Subbiah often integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness techniques into her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic therapeutic relationship and supports clients in exploring their feelings and values to guide change. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. Mindfulness therapy teaches skills to increase present-moment awareness and emotional regulation, which can be helpful for stress, trauma responses, and managing difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Subbiah works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility in how care is delivered. Video calls enable face-to-face interaction from home, phone sessions provide an accessible audio option, and live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing work between sessions. These formats allow for scheduling convenience and make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing everyday responsibilities.
