Musarrat draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to match what will be most helpful for each person and collaborates with clients to set goals and measure progress.

She is currently accepting clients and offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or in-app messaging to accommodate different preferences.

Approaches Used in Online Therapy and What They Help With

Musarrat uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach emphasizes active listening, empathy, and collaboration, and can be especially helpful for people coping with grief, relationship difficulties, loneliness, or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to explore the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems. CBT often involves structured exercises and skill-building that clients can apply between sessions.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who are ambivalent about change by exploring motivation and strengthening commitment to goals. It can be useful for clients facing major life adjustments, caregiving stress, or patterns such as codependency or avoidance.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Musarrat will work with each person to identify their priorities, try out methods that fit their style, and adjust the plan as needs and goals evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - so sessions can fit around work, caregiving, or mobility limitations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or changing schedules and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for the individual.
