How Naja works
Trauma-focused work is part of the toolbox for people recovering from abuse or other painful events. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to help manage anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and moments of overwhelm. Naja also addresses concerns around identity, intimacy, and body image with sensitivity and curiosity.
She supports people dealing with grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and life changes such as separation and blended family transitions. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, fertility-related stress, and compassion fatigue for those in caregiving roles. Sessions aim to be practical and rooted in everyday life.
Humor and relatable examples are used where helpful. The goal is to build skills, reduce distress, and help people make choices that fit their values and relationships.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships affect feelings and behavior; online sessions use conversation and reflective exercises to map patterns and build healthier connections. Client-centered therapy centers the person's perspective and priorities, offering a listening, nonjudgmental space where goals come from the client's own values and choices. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, with practical exercises that translate well to video or messaging formats.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort with different formats. That mix may shift over time as problems change and skills grow.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging for shorter updates or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, do brief skills practice between meetings, or choose a format that suits concentration and energy levels.
