Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Dr. Nikita Mohta commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside skills-based Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. CBT offers structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often helping with mood disorders, worry, and behavior change. DBT emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be especially helpful for high emotional reactivity and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Mohta works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting interventions over time to support progress and resilience.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or elsewhere, and choose the format that feels most comfortable. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt core techniques effectively to online formats to help clients build practical skills and make steady progress.
