How her approaches translate to online therapy
Aabeda commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that work well online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and helping people find their own solutions, which can help with confidence and self esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit the situation. The process is collaborative and adjusts as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and keep check-ins brief when needed. It can also allow for consistent weekly work on things like coping skills, mindfulness practice, and narrative shifts that build self-esteem over time.
