Background and approach
That might mean learning new ways to handle panic attacks or addressing shame and guilt that hold someone back. Gunjani draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and commit to meaningful action. She also uses attachment-focused ideas to improve connection and Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques for relationship concerns.
When trauma is present she may integrate EMDR to address distressing memories. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s readiness. She outlines clear goals and practical steps, and adapts language so it feels usable day to day.
Gunjani aims to make therapy feel like a reliable place to practice new habits. People who want help with communication problems, control issues, dissociation, or life purpose often seek her perspective. She also supports those navigating divorce, postpartum depression, phobias, and grief.
Her work centers on helping people regain steadiness and make choices that match their values.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making changes that matter. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connection patterns affect current relationships and helps people shift how they relate to others. This approach can aid communication problems, abandonment worries, and intimacy concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) guides people through naming and understanding emotions in relationship moments to build clearer bonds and resolve conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest strategies and try things out collaboratively. This allows adjustments over time so therapy fits real life and evolving needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues for deeper emotional work. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, tools practice, or ongoing coaching-style support between longer sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy days.
