Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Shila works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and everyday functioning. One common approach she uses looks at how attachment patterns shape current relationships, helping people notice repeating dynamics and try different ways of relating. Another practical technique centers on problem-focused work for communication and conflict, teaching conversational skills and small behavioral changes to reduce tension.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That means trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting if it does not fit.
