How her approaches translate to online therapy
Atasha uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where the person leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and asks curious questions. This approach helps people feel heard and builds on their existing strengths to face stress, parenting strain, or relationship problems.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, useful for anxiety, obsessive thoughts, and managing day-to-day stress. Emotionally-Focused techniques are used when relationships or strong emotions are central, helping people name emotions and improve how they respond to others.
Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with the person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well with lower bandwidth, live chat can be a brief check-in, and text messaging is useful for ongoing prompts or reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different formats as needs change.
