Evidence-based approaches offered remotely
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then practicing new ways of thinking and acting. It is often used to relieve symptoms of anxiety and stress and to build practical coping skills.
Mindfulness-based techniques teach present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and feelings. These practices can help reduce reactivity to stress, support emotional regulation, and improve overall resilience during life transitions.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of exploring ambivalence and finding personal motivation for change. It is useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about making shifts in relationships, habits, or life direction.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Taija-Rae works collaboratively with each client to determine which techniques align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Taija-Rae can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels.
