Approaches That Guide Online Therapy

Ganiyat draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and learn practical skills for accepting difficult thoughts and emotions while committing to meaningful action - this approach can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationships affect current patterns in intimacy and trust, helping people address relationship difficulties and attachment-related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques for identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, often helping with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and adjustment challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative part of Ganiyat's work. She will discuss different methods with each person, tailoring the therapy to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences so they feel involved in deciding what will be most helpful.

Online therapy with Ganiyat is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules or those living remotely. These options make it easier to access regular sessions, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and fit therapy into everyday life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt methods to each client’s situation.
