Approaches That Guide Online Support
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional regulation. It helps people explore and reshape connection styles, which can improve relationship difficulties, long-standing insecurities, and responses to loss or separation.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is well suited to managing anxiety, low mood, compulsive patterns, and many day-to-day problems by teaching skills for coping and problem solving.
Trauma-Focused Therapy attends specifically to the effects of traumatic events, helping people process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing impact. This approach supports recovery from abuse, victimisation, and other overwhelming experiences by using techniques adapted to each person’s readiness.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Nisa works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She discusses options with each person and adapts the work as understanding and priorities evolve.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to access support around work, caregiving, or geographic constraints, and allows clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for their healing process.
