About Karim

Approaches you can use online

Karim uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that keep problems going. This approach breaks worries and panic into smaller parts so people can practice new responses and reduce symptoms over time.

He also uses Emotionally Focused Therapy to help people notice and name strong emotions. That method supports learning how feelings connect to actions and how to respond differently when emotions feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Karim discusses goals and preferences, then suggests which techniques to try first. He checks progress and adapts the plan based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep working on skills between sessions, whether someone prefers seeing a therapist on screen, talking by phone, or exchanging messages.
