Background and approach

She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people build motivation and new habits.
The work is collaborative - Azelia and the person set goals together and adjust as needed. Azelia is comfortable addressing sensitive topics such as intimacy-related issues, BDSM and kink culture, and guilt or shame. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, workplace challenges, and feelings of isolation.

Online approaches that meet you where you are
Azelia often combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, respect, and helping people set their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical ways to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and low mood.She also uses aspects of dialectical behavior therapy, which offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These approaches are explained in simple terms and tried together so the person can see what helps. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process; Azelia will work with the person to choose or adjust methods based on needs and preferences rather than using a fixed plan.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, quick skill practice, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and daily life.
