Background and approach
Conversations are practical and grounded. The therapist adapts techniques to fit daily life and individual strengths. Her approach draws from client-centered work that puts the person’s experience at the center.
She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness methods help people build attention and calm in stressful moments. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants to make a change but feels stuck.
Narrative ideas help people retell difficult stories in ways that reduce blame and increase agency. Together these methods are used to map steps forward, not just talk about problems. Sessions address practical skills such as communication, emotion regulation, and problem solving.
Chavekka helps clients develop plans they can use between sessions. She aims for a collaborative process that honors each person’s background and goals.
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Chavekka commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience, helping clients feel heard and guiding conversations based on their priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and cope with anxiety, depression, or anger.She also uses mindfulness techniques to build attention and calm during stressful moments. These practices involve short exercises and simple ways to notice the body and breath, which can reduce reactivity and improve focus for daily tasks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion. Phone can be easier when internet quality or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, reflection between sessions, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
