Approaches you can use in online sessions

KaShava works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try new ways of responding to stress and low mood; it is useful for anxiety and depression because it teaches specific skills to test and shift thinking patterns. Another approach emphasizes building routines, organizational strategies, and attention supports to improve focus and daily functioning for people with ADHD.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend methods that suit those needs. That process is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy with KaShava uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low, chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging lets people write between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and family life.
