Online support options
Approaches suited to online therapy and how they work
Sajeevani often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy in online work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help when people face trust, closeness or abandonment concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sajeevani works together with clients to test what helps most and adjusts methods based on goals and preferences. Clients set priorities and the plan evolves with regular check-ins to see what is working.
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 can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works well for brief check-ins or when writing is helpful. These options let people fit therapy around work, family and daily life while accessing appropriately qualified therapists from different locations.
