How Keran uses CBT online
Keran uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people recognize patterns of thinking that increase anxiety and avoidance. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce worry, panic, and avoidance in everyday situations.Those tools are useful for social anxiety and panic attacks because they encourage hands-on practice of social skills and gradual exposure to feared situations. The approach also provides steps to manage urges linked to addictions and to rebuild confidence after setbacks.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Keran will work with each person to understand their goals and preferences and then recommend techniques that fit their needs. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress and challenges emerge.
