How Rima’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to what matters most to the individual. The therapist follows the client's lead, helping them name feelings and priorities so goals feel relevant and realistic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing impulses by practicing new skills between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rima collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She may blend client-centered listening with CBT exercises or add mindfulness practices when attention and stress management are priorities.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Ask what kinds of online appointments are supported and how scheduling works. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so obstacles like commute or childcare are less of a barrier. A quick conversation at the start will clarify how to structure sessions to match your needs and routine.
