Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Mehreen draws on several evidence-informed approaches to tailor online support to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the client is seen as the expert of their experience - this approach helps build self-understanding, confidence, and motivation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages practical acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committed action, which can aid coping with painful emotions and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mehreen works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses to ensure the best match.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and easier access to care. This range of options helps clients schedule support around work, family, and other commitments, and allows continued progress even when in-person meetings are not possible.
