How practical therapy methods translate to online care

Shalika often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is useful for addressing anxiety, panic, depression, and many day-to-day stressors. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and building a supportive relationship so clients can set their own goals and feel heard. Mindfulness Therapy is another tool she incorporates, teaching attention and grounding strategies that can reduce reactivity and improve coping with difficult emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and may combine elements from these methods to create a personalized plan. The emphasis is on what helps the client make practical progress while respecting their pace and readiness for change.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain therapy through life changes without requiring travel.
