Approaches for online care and practical change
Rima uses client-centered work that focuses on the person’s priorities and strengths; sessions start with listening and then follow the person’s lead to set useful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness practices help people notice their reactions and build breathing and attention habits to steady emotions and reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rima will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That may mean trying a CBT skill for a few weeks, then adding mindfulness or narrative work to change how a person tells their story.
Confirm the exact session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find online therapy helps fit care into busy lives by avoiding travel, making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, and allowing work or family breaks to be used for a session. It can also let someone continue momentum during life transitions and keep therapy consistent across locations.
