How Sahra Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s goals. In practice this looks like sessions where the person sets priorities and the therapist reflects and clarifies to help them find their own solutions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It can help with panic attacks by teaching strategies to manage the cycle of thought, physical sensations, and avoidance behaviors.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces short, practical exercises to bring attention back to the present moment. These practices can reduce the intensity of worry and make it easier to use skills taught in session.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist will help figure out what fits best based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine methods over time as what’s helpful becomes clearer.
