Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Krishna uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive environment where clients’ perspectives guide the work - this approach emphasizes empathy, respect, and each person’s autonomy and can be helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often effective for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Motivational Interviewing supports clients who are facing ambivalence about change by exploring values and strengthening motivation, which can be valuable for addictions, caregiver decisions, and other commitment-related challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Krishna works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors methods so treatment fits the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. This collaborative stance helps clients stay engaged and work toward practical changes.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, support access for those in different locations within the permitted region, and provide ongoing ways to maintain progress between sessions.
