Therapeutic approaches and online care
Kasimu-Richard commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely, helping people feel heard, and building goals from the client's priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful reactions and reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.He also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice their thoughts and bodily signals without judgment. Mindfulness exercises can be short practices to reduce reactivity or to calm the nervous system when anger or stress rise. The therapist treats selection of methods as a collaborative process and will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls make it possible to meet face to face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for check-ins. Live chat and text messages allow shorter, frequent exchanges for check-ins, coping plans, or motivational reminders. These options make therapy easier to fit into work, parenting, or travel schedules and let people choose how they prefer to connect.
