Background and approach
Conversations are rooted in everyday language, with techniques that are easy to try between sessions. She aims to make therapy feel useful from the start. Her work often centers on common concerns such as depression, relationship struggles, and anger.
She also supports people dealing with eating and body image issues, codependency, and family of origin pain. Her background includes helping those who face panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, and mood disorders. Aileen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which links thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
That method helps people test unhelpful thinking and try new coping strategies. Over time, clients learn ways to reduce symptoms and handle setbacks more calmly. She practices in New York as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor.
Sessions are offered in English and can happen by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Aileen encourages a collaborative partnership where goals are clear and progress is discussed openly.
How CBT and online sessions work together
Aileen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to connect thoughts, feelings, and actions in plain terms. CBT involves noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying different behaviors to see what helps. It is often useful for anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, and mood problems because it gives clear steps to practice between sessions.The right approach is something to discover together. She will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and day-to-day life. Clients and therapist review what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the work collaborative and practical.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people read facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone calls can be easier when less bandwidth or no camera is wanted. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, brief skill practice, or fitting support into a busy day. These formats make therapy more flexible and help people stay consistent with treatment while juggling work and family commitments.
