Online therapy and therapeutic approach
Mohammad Rakib Islam integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support people in clarifying values and developing practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, and difficult thinking patterns. ACT helps make space for thoughts while guiding action toward what matters, while CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful beliefs and behaviours. He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relational patterns, abandonment concerns, and attachment needs influence current relationships and emotional responses.Sessions are client-centered and collaborative, with therapist and individual working together to set goals and select techniques from these approaches. This combination can suit people who want both skill-based work and opportunities to examine deeper relational or existential questions about identity and meaning.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. People interested in starting can discuss their preferred communication method and how these formats can fit into an ongoing therapeutic plan.
