About Mentwab
She began in 2001 working with adults with chronic and severe mental illness to prevent repeated hospitalizations. Since then she has provided psychotherapy, consultation, and educational and diagnostic testing in different settings. Living on three continents has shaped her awareness of cultural and ethnic differences and how they affect the therapeutic process.
Her style is collaborative and outcome focused. She uses practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat in relationships. She also integrates trauma-informed practices when past harm affects current functioning.
Clients can expect a mix of problem-solving and deeper reflection. Sessions aim to reduce immediate symptoms while identifying patterns that keep problems returning. She pays attention to how stress and relationship difficulties affect performance at work and daily life.
Dr. Wuhib holds credentials as a New York psychologist and a Virginia psychologist. She offers sessions by video and phone and maintains evening and weekend hours. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.
How Dr. Wuhib Uses Talk Therapy Online
Dr. Wuhib commonly blends cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic approaches in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, panic attacks, and mood problems. Psychodynamic therapy looks at repeating patterns in relationships and past experiences that influence current feelings and choices, which can help with attachment issues and complex relationship trauma.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with the client to decide which methods match their goals and needs. That means trying practical strategies first for immediate relief, then opening up longer-term exploration when useful.
She offers sessions by video and phone and keeps evening and weekend hours to help fit therapy into a busy life. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details. Online sessions can make it easier to attend during work breaks, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques used in person so they remain focused and goal oriented during remote sessions.
