How Rima’s approaches work online

Client-centered work means the conversation follows what matters most to the person. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients choose the issues to focus on. This helps people feel understood and keeps sessions focused on their priorities.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. In short exercises clients learn to notice unhelpful thinking and try out new responses. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Mindfulness therapy helps people build steady attention to the present moment. Simple practices and short exercises can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which is useful for trauma, grief, and ongoing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adjust methods as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.

Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that fits a schedule. These practical benefits often help people maintain steady progress while balancing everyday life.
