Therapeutic approaches and online session options

Dr. Maisha Murshed integrates several evidence-informed approaches to tailor therapy to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive behaviour, and supports living in line with personal values - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and feelings of emptiness. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating formed in close relationships and helps address abandonment, attachment issues, and family or couple dynamics by building more secure ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be effective for anxiety, mood concerns, and problem-solving in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Murshed works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life context. She adjusts strategies as therapy unfolds so the plan reflects what works for the individual.

Online therapy with Dr. Murshed is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and access for busy schedules or those unable to attend in person. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different formats, and engage in therapy from familiar surroundings while working with a licensed professional.
