Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Janice Dias Dabawala draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to support people working through emotional and practical challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours and developing practical strategies to change them - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches skills for paying nonjudgmental attention to the present moment and can help reduce reactivity, improve emotional regulation, and support coping with chronic worry or low mood.

She approaches treatment collaboratively and recognises that selecting the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Janice will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting techniques over time so the plan matches the client’s needs.

Online therapy with Janice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or while travelling, and they allow clients to choose the format that best supports consistent, ongoing work with a registered professional.
