She also works with clients coping with narcissistic dynamics and post-traumatic stress. Sessions are offered in English, Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Uzma commonly uses evidence-based techniques that focus on building strengths and practical skills. One approach emphasizes identifying and using a person's existing resources to handle stress and anxiety, helping clients notice what already works and build on it. Another approach focuses on processing trauma and difficult emotions at a pace the person can manage, which can reduce the hold of painful memories and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then tailor methods to fit those priorities. This collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize coping skills, trauma processing, or a mix of strategies.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation when that is helpful, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send shorter updates or check in between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to stay connected in ways that suit different comfort levels.
