How Savithri uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings and still move toward what matters to them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress and making values-based choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing thinking patterns that affect mood and behaviour. CBT techniques can help with depression, anxiety, sleep and eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy, trust and relationship challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Savithri will explore a persons needs, goals and preferences together and suggest which methods to try. The decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses to match what is most helpful.
Online sessions offer practical advantages for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, reflection between sessions or people who prefer typed communication. These formats provide flexibility to fit work, family and other commitments while keeping therapy consistent.
