Dr. Naamat El Bejjani - Beirut, Lebanon

Yes, online therapy is a highly effective medium for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress management, and relationship issues. I utilize secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms to ensure a safe and confidential space. While most conditions thrive in this format, I conduct an initial screening to ensure online sessions are the safest and most appropriate choice for your specific needs.

Our journey begins with a comprehensive clinical assessment where we explore your personal history, current challenges, and goals. I use active listening and evidence-based diagnostic tools to identify underlying patterns and triggers. This collaborative process ensures that I see the world through your lens, allowing us to build a customized roadmap for your growth.

I employ an integrative approach, blending Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Psychodynamic and Psychoanalytic principles. This allows us to explore unconscious patterns that shape your life, using techniques like free association, we look beyond surface-level symptoms to understand the "unconscious scripts" influencing your choices and relationships. We connect these deep insights to your daily life, using CBT tools to build practical coping mechanisms for current challenges.

Client confidentiality is a cornerstone of my practice. All sessions are conducted in a private, secure environment, and I strictly adhere to professional ethical codes and legal standards. Digital records are stored using encrypted, password-protected systems. Communication is kept professional and confidential, typically restricted to secure messaging or email for scheduling and administrative matters, ensuring your personal information remains protected at all times.

While not mandatory, I often encourage the use of self-monitoring tools to bridge the gap between sessions. This may include keeping a brief reflective journal or using specific mood-tracking methods tailored to your goals. Tracking helps identify patterns in thoughts and behaviors as they happen in real-time, providing us with valuable 'data' to explore during our next meeting. The frequency is flexible and based on what feels sustainable for you.

Between sessions, my focus is on empowering your autonomy. While I am available for urgent administrative needs or brief clarifying questions via secure messaging, the primary 'support' consists of the strategies and reflections we develop together during our time. For ongoing progress evaluation, we periodically review your goals to ensure the therapeutic process remains aligned with your needs. In case of a crisis, I provide guidance on immediate emergency resources to ensure your safety.
