How her approaches fit with online therapy

Sharareh uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to test new ways of coping. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and shifting daily habits. Motivational Interviewing focuses on finding personal reasons to change and building momentum at a comfortable pace; it helps when someone feels stuck or uncertain about next steps.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then try methods that match your situation. Sessions are collaborative, with check-ins to adjust the plan as needed.

The biography does not list which online session types are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue work through pregnancy, postpartum changes, and life transitions without rearranging as much of your day.
