About Kavitha
Kavitha Devarajan is an AASW social worker with three years of professional experience in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self esteem, career difficulties and depression, including social anxiety and phobia. Kavitha speaks English, Hindi, Kannada and Malayalam which can help clients feel understood in their own words.
Her approach is direct and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that can be tried between meetings. She listens to what feels most pressing and helps people plan manageable changes rather than giving long lectures.
Kavitha also pays attention to how past attachments and communication patterns affect current relationships. She will talk through patterns around guilt, shame, forgiveness and self-love, and help people practise different ways of relating. That work often links to career and workplace pressures as well as family roles.
For people living with chronic pain, illness or disability, Kavitha helps balance medical and emotional concerns so daily life feels less overwhelming. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress and isolation by focusing on routines and self-care that actually fit into busy days.
To begin, Kavitha asks clients to describe their main concerns and what they hope to change. From there she and the client agree on practical steps and a simple plan to review progress over time.
How therapeutic methods translate to online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used in work with anxiety and relationships include cognitive strategies and behavioural experiments. Cognitive techniques help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try more balanced ways of thinking, which can reduce worry and second-guessing in social situations. Behavioural experiments involve testing small changes in real life, such as brief exposure to a feared social moment, then reviewing what happened and what was learned.Attachment-focused ideas look at patterns in close relationships and communication. This kind of work helps people understand why they react a certain way with others, and practises different responses to reduce conflict or withdrawal. Kavitha treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods feel most relevant to the person's goals and preferences.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If someone prefers not to be on camera, that can reduce fatigue, while audio sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler during a work break. Kavitha will help clients choose workable arrangements that fit their everyday life.
