Evidence-informed approaches for online therapy

Dr. Sabita Kesu integrates several well-established therapeutic approaches to address a wide range of concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space where the person is heard and empowered to find their own solutions - this approach is especially helpful for building self-esteem, navigating relationship difficulties, and processing life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps individuals identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress management, sleep problems and many day-to-day difficulties by offering practical strategies and skill-building.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies and offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. It is well suited to managing intense emotions, anger, interpersonal conflict and complex reactions to trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Dr. Kesu works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts plans over time so therapy remains focused and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options allow appointments to fit around work, family and geographical constraints and make it easier to maintain continuity of care even when life is busy or circumstances change.
