Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Puneet draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help with anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship strain. One common approach focuses on increasing awareness of thoughts and feelings and then practicing concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; this helps people reduce anxiety and respond differently to stress. Another approach emphasizes processing past hurts and painful experiences in a careful, paced way to reduce their ongoing impact on daily life and relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques feel helpful and which to adapt or replace.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit varied schedules. Video lets people see facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier if a shorter check-in works best. Live chat and text messaging allow quick reflections and ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats help people access care with greater flexibility and convenience.
