How her therapeutic approaches translate online

Dr. Ngumba-Gatabaki blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy with solution-oriented techniques to help people make concrete changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on building safety and managing reactions after hurtful or frightening experiences, often using gradual, paced steps.

She views finding the right approach as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client talk about goals, try methods that fit the person’s pace, and adjust plans based on what helps. That way the work stays practical and aligned with personal preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. These options let people choose real-time conversations or shorter, written check-ins depending on what feels most useful. The range of formats supports continuity of care so progress can continue even when schedules change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
