Online support
How her approaches work online
Sajeevani often uses Systemic Therapy to look at how relationships and patterns affect day-to-day life. This approach helps spot recurring ways of interacting and find small changes that shift dynamics in families or close relationships.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which focuses on values and practical actions rather than fighting difficult thoughts. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes by building flexible ways to respond to emotions.
Attachment-Based Therapy appears in her work to help people understand early relationship patterns and how they influence current connections. This can help with abandonment, attachment issues and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and she works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they will try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face-to-face from another location, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging helps keep a conversation going between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study or caregiving commitments.
