Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Subbiah regularly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy as part of her practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and mood regulation. Mindfulness therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and stress reduction skills that support coping with trauma, chronic stress, grief, and emotional reactivity.Finding the right combination of approaches is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to clarify goals, review preferences, and adapt techniques so the plan fits the individual's needs rather than applying a single method rigidly.
Online therapy with Dr. Subbiah is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible and reduce travel barriers. These remote formats allow ongoing access to licensed professionals while supporting a range of therapeutic tasks from skill teaching and guided exercises to reflective conversation and motivational work, helping clients maintain continuity of care around busy schedules.
