Background and approach

She also addresses issues like trauma and abuse, body image, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her work blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods. That means she listens first, helps you set concrete goals, and tests small strategies that can be used right away.

Motivational interviewing is used when people need support finding their own motivation to change. Aquinetta treats complex concerns such as bipolar mood swings, substance use, and co-occurring problems by breaking them into manageable pieces. She pays attention to attachment and communication patterns that affect relationships and parenting.

Sessions are intended to feel practical and goal-directed rather than overly clinical. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging. She tailors the plan and pace to each person’s situation, offering a steady, empathetic presence while working toward clearer coping skills and better day-to-day functioning.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy starts with attentive listening and meeting each person where they are. In practice this means the therapist asks about what matters most to the client and shapes sessions around those priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviors to change mood and habits. It is well suited for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That may mean trying CBT techniques for a period, then shifting to solution-focused steps or using motivational interviewing to build commitment to change.

Online sessions make this flexible and easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for in-depth work, while phone sessions can be a simpler option with less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework discussion, or ongoing encouragement between synchronous sessions. These formats help people keep therapy consistent around work, school, or caregiving schedules.
