Therapeutic approaches and online care
Sheba commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression. Mindfulness therapy trains present-moment awareness and simple breathing or attention practices to ease stress and improve emotion regulation.She also draws on narrative therapy ideas to help people rethink the stories they tell about themselves. That work can shift how someone sees setbacks and strengths, and it often pairs well with the concrete steps of CBT. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process; Sheba will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods as work progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, journaling between sessions, or shorter conversations when time is limited. These options let people shape care around work, family, and daily life.
