The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and costs vary by location and therapist availability.

Therapeutic methods and flexible online care

Puneet draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people notice and change automatic thought patterns so anxiety and sadness become easier to manage. Another method uses structured coping skills and short exercises to reduce stress in day-to-day life and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan over time so the work stays relevant and effective.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and comforts. Video is useful for deeper conversations and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and work well when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging offer brief check-ins and flexibility for busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other obligations while keeping the focus on steady progress.
