How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Sharareh uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that increase stress and to test small changes in behavior. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, mood shifts, and everyday worries.She also uses Motivational Interviewing, which focuses on what matters to the client and builds motivation for change. That approach can make decisions feel clearer when someone is uncertain about next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That means trying things, reviewing what helps, and adjusting plans together.
Confirm session formats before booking so you know what options are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel time, or have shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help keep momentum between sessions by making follow-ups simpler to schedule.
