Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Prof. Abraham lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a method that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT helps when mood, anxiety, sleep, or behavior patterns are causing distress by teaching practical skills and experiments to try between sessions.He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy approaches for relationship and intimacy issues. These focus on emotional responses and interaction patterns, aiming to change how people relate and respond to each other in everyday moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss your goals, needs, and preferences and decide together which methods to use. That collaborative process guides whether the focus should be skills, emotional processing, or relational change.
