I’m Rakib, a registered counsellor, and I offer a warm, supportive, and culturally sensitive space for adults seeking online therapy. I work with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, adult ADHD, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and life transitions, as well as existential and spiritual questions around meaning, purpose, identity, and belonging. My approach is integrative and client-centred, drawing on EMDR, somatic practices, Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT, art therapy, narrative and feminist therapy techniques to help you better understand yourself, regulate emotions, and create meaningful change. As a South Asian immigrant therapist, I value diverse life experiences and aim to help you feel seen, understood, and supported. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or questioning deeper aspects of your life, I invite you to reach out and take this step toward clarity, healing, and living more authentically.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
