Integrating Therapeutic Approaches in Online Care

Dr. Uma Subbiah uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where people can explore concerns at their own pace; this approach helps when someone needs empathy, validation, and space to clarify personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it a practical option for depression, anxiety, panic, and many stress-related problems.
