She sees clients who also deal with phobias, social anxiety, and women's issues. Dr. Levy works in English and offers video, phone, chat, and messaging sessions.

Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is part of her toolbox to help people notice patterns of thought and try new behaviors. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. Conversations often center on clear goals, small experiments to test changes, and skills to manage anxiety or low mood.
She helps people break problems into steps that fit daily life. Dr. Levy encourages people to move at their own pace.
She focuses on what matters most to each person and adjusts strategies as needed. The work balances understanding feelings with hands-on skills for coping. She offers several ways to connect, including live video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits the client’s timing and preferences. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches work online
Dr. Levy uses client-centered therapy to make sure the work reflects each person's values and pace. This approach focuses on listening, clarifying what matters to the client, and building on existing strengths to face stress and relationship concerns.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, commonly called CBT, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT techniques are practical - they include simple experiments and skills to reduce anxiety, tackle phobias, and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Dr. Levy will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines to decide which methods fit best. She adjusts strategies over time so the plan stays useful and realistic for each person.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief, focused exchanges during a busy week. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or school schedules while using the approaches described above.
