Ms. Gajjam uses structured, evidence-based approaches: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), Behaviour Therapy, Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) modalities, together with play-based interventions, mindfulness strategies, and positive-parenting and family-systems frameworks.
