Background and approach
Rima blends a few different approaches to match what a person needs. She draws on client-centered work to follow the client’s pace and priorities. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used when changing thinking and behavior will ease symptoms.
Mindfulness and narrative tools help people notice patterns and rewrite the stories that keep them stuck. Solution-focused ideas guide short-term planning when quick change is a priority. This mix lets her move between deeper processing and concrete skill-building.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s priorities first. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what matters most, and helps you set goals that feel realistic. This approach is useful when someone needs space to understand their feelings and decide what matters next.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts and behaviors connect. It uses practical exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try new actions. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and everyday coping skills.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. Together you can try a few techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you use visual cues and face-to-face conversation. Phone can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when written expression feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep progress steady over time.
