Background and approach

The aim is to leave sessions with concrete steps to try between meetings. Shakina emphasizes sensitivity and compassion while keeping work focused and goal-oriented. She helps people identify patterns that hold them back and practices new ways of coping.

The approach balances understanding what happened with building skills for the present. Clients can expect an individualized plan rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Shakina adapts her pace to what each client can manage, offering support while encouraging small, steady progress.

She highlights realistic goals and tracks change over time. Starting therapy can feel daunting, and she acknowledges that courage is required to begin. Her practice centers on clear communication, mutual respect, and practical problem solving.

The intent is to help people feel more capable and in control of their next steps.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Shakina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on both understanding problems and building new skills. One approach she uses concentrates on identifying unhelpful patterns in relationships and teaching practical communication and coping strategies. This helps when conflicts keep repeating or when people feel stuck arguing or withdrawing.

Another approach centers on working through trauma and abuse by gently addressing past experiences while strengthening current coping skills. This method aims to reduce the hold of past events and increase a person's ability to manage strong emotions and triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and pace. The plan can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
