Remote sessions and clinical approaches
Ananya uses training in cognitive behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to structure remote sessions. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on recognizing links between thoughts and behaviors and developing alternative patterns. REBT emphasizes examining and revising unhelpful core beliefs, while DBT offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These descriptions give a sense of the methods she brings to sessions.
She aims to work collaboratively, helping each person translate insights into practical steps that fit daily life. That collaborative focus can be useful for people navigating transitions, relationship concerns, stress, mood challenges, body image or eating-related issues, and workplace difficulties. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, and she accepts international clients. The remote formats are intended to provide flexible ways to engage with the therapeutic work using the approaches she is trained in.
