How Mahroo applies CBT and relational approaches online
Mahroo works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT sessions typically include tracking thoughts, testing assumptions with small experiments, and practicing new responses to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person’s own goals and to shape sessions around what matters most to them, offering reflective listening and practical feedback. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when relationship patterns and attachment concerns are central, helping people notice emotional responses and try new ways of communicating.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. Mahroo will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then suggest methods to try. The choice of techniques is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
