Approaches and online care that fit your life
Mousumi uses narrative therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their fears, which can make phobias and anxiety feel more manageable. Narrative work focuses on identifying unhelpful beliefs and creating new, more helpful personal narratives.She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change thinking patterns and behaviors that keep anxiety or avoidance going. These methods often include simple exercises and small practice tasks to do between sessions, which can reduce phobic responses over time.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mousumi will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and how they react to different methods, then shape a plan together that feels workable and focused on real steps forward.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video is useful for full conversations and guided exercises, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can support brief check-ins, coaching-style prompts, or shorter reflections between appointments. These formats give flexibility for parents and others balancing work, school, and caregiving responsibilities.
