About Mohammad
Mohammad Rakib Islam is an ACA counsellor who offers online therapy for adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma, ADHD and self-esteem struggles. He provides a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what feels hard and find clearer ways to cope. Rakib works in a straightforward, person-focused way.
Sessions aim to help people notice how their body and mind react to stress, and to build small, practical skills for day-to-day life.
Background and approach
He uses a mix of approaches so therapy can fit each person's needs rather than following one strict method. He draws on somatic practices to help clients tune into bodily signals, and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take manageable steps. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and trust, while client-centred listening shapes the pace of sessions.
Rakib also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. He pays attention to culture and migration experiences and aims to make space for questions about identity and belonging. Sessions are offered in English and Bengali and are provided online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Rakib has three years of experience working with adults and tailors sessions to individual goals and practical circumstances.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Somatic work helps people notice bodily responses to stress and trauma. It uses gentle attention to breath, posture and sensation so clients can learn how their body signals tension and calm, which can support emotion regulation and grounding.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying what matters to a person and taking small steps in that direction. It helps when someone feels stuck by combining acceptance of difficult feelings with practical actions that reflect personal values.
Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. This approach can help people recognise repeating patterns in relationships and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods over time. That collaboration helps make sure sessions match each person's needs.
Online therapy through video, phone, live chat or text messaging offers flexibility for busy lives. It lets people join sessions from home or another convenient place, fit therapy around work or family routines, and choose the format that best supports their communication style.
