Approaches that guide online sessions
Naja commonly integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Trauma-Focused methods into online work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving communication. It is useful for people who struggle with anger, emotional ups and downs, or intense stress. Trauma-Focused therapy helps people process painful events and reduce the ways trauma shows up in daily life, using careful steps to work through memories and reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together with the therapist. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try techniques that fit a person’s situation. The plan can change over time as needs shift and progress is noticed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues and work through exercises in real time. Phone sessions are a good option when lower bandwidth is needed or when being on camera feels difficult. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, skill reminders, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep steady contact between sessions.
