How her approaches adapt to online work
Dr. Ngumba-Gatabaki commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT looks at unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow, and then tests small changes to reduce anger, anxiety, or mood symptoms. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing past harms and building skills to manage strong emotional reactions, including anger and flashbacks.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals, current challenges, and what the client prefers. Together they decide whether to emphasize thinking-and-behavior strategies, motivation for change, or trauma-focused techniques. The plan can shift as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let the client and therapist practice new communication and coping skills in everyday settings, then review what worked at the next appointment.
