He helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful ones.
How Shaji works
He also helps set short-term goals so progress is visible and focused on what matters now. His background includes counseling, pastoral work, and counselor education. That mix influences his style - calm, direct, and hopeful.
He views faith and meaning as possible supports when clients want to include them, but he centers each session on the person in front of him. In sessions he uses CBT techniques like cognitive restructuring and reflection of thoughts and feelings. He pairs those with solution-focused steps that aim for quick, achievable change.
Sessions tend to emphasize clear strategies, practice between meetings, and tracking small gains. People come to him for relationship struggles, communication problems, immigration-related stress, multicultural concerns, parenting challenges, and major life changes. He works with clients to build coping skills, strengthen resilience, and regain daily functioning.

Online support options
How his approaches fit with online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and sets the pace of work according to their needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives practical exercises for stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and immediate goals to build momentum and hope.Choosing the right mix of approaches is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which tools to try first and adjust the plan as progress is tracked over time.
Online sessions can be done by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow quick, ongoing check-ins and can fit around busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, school, or caregiving.
