About Anupama
Anupama Masih uses practical, goal-focused therapy to help people feel steadier and more in control. She blends structured techniques with compassionate listening to address stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, grief, parenting concerns, and intimacy-related issues.
Background and approach
She is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California with 20 years of professional experience. In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and coping during high-stress moments. These methods are taught in simple steps and tailored to each person’s situation.
She has worked with people affected by trauma, abuse, domestic violence, infidelity, panic disorder, and panic attacks. Meetings focus on concrete strategies - breathing and grounding tools, communication practice, and small behavior changes that can be tried between sessions.
The goal is to build steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes. Anupama adapts her approach to reflect each person’s values and daily life.
She emphasizes respect and sensitivity while helping people set realistic goals. Parents can expect supportive guidance for parenting stress and related relationship impacts.
Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows the therapist’s availability.
The subscription can be canceled at any time.
Using CBT and DBT Skills in Online Therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people spot the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practice small changes. It is often used for stress, anxiety, panic attacks, and depression and focuses on practical exercises you can use day to day.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving stress tolerance. It offers step-by-step techniques for grounding, emotional regulation, and healthier communication when feelings run high.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and choose or combine techniques that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging options make shorter check-ins or continuing practice between meetings easier. These choices let people fit sessions around work, caregiving, or other routines while still using structured CBT and DBT strategies.
