Mousumi practices from a trauma-informed stance, emphasizing resilience building and practical coping strategies. Her therapeutic orientation blends feminist, humanistic, and person-centered values, and she commonly uses narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and solution-focused techniques to help clients set realistic goals and create sustainable change. Kindness, empathy, and humility guide her approach as she tailors dialogue and treatment plans to each person’s needs.
