These methods are used to help people notice thoughts and behaviors, develop new coping tools, and practice different ways of responding to stress and triggers.
She also addresses concerns like attachment wounds, abandonment fears, body image, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic, and post-traumatic stress. Money and financial issues are listed among the topics she supports people with when these concerns affect mood and daily functioning.
Abijah encourages a collaborative process. She helps people set realistic goals and work at a pace that fits their life. Her style is supportive and clear, aiming to empower each person to make practical changes that matter to them.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take action in small steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can help when anxiety, stress, or avoidance interfere with daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay relevant to their real-life needs and schedules.
