Evidence-Informed Care Delivered Online



Niija integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her online practice. CBT involves identifying and testing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and improve coping skills. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility so clients can move toward meaningful goals even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adapting techniques over time to find what best supports progress and daily functioning.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer scheduling flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity between appointments, and use formats that feel most comfortable for practicing skills and checking in between meetings.
