How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Subbiah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT often involves short, focused exercises, mood monitoring, and concrete homework to try between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy is used to keep the work grounded in the person's concerns and goals, emphasizing listening and collaborative planning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding practices that reduce reactivity and help with sleep and anxiety.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She will review goals, current problems, and preferences and then recommend strategies to try. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what works for the individual.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know how meetings will be arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when those are more practical. It can also support consistent practice of skills learned in sessions so they carry over into daily life.
