Background and approach

Griselda frames clients as the experts on their own lives and builds on existing strengths. In sessions she focuses on practical steps people can use between meetings, along with conversations that clarify what matters most. That might mean learning simple tools to manage panic, trying new ways to handle stress, or talking through painful memories at a pace that feels safe.

She emphasizes small, steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her style is collaborative and warm. She encourages people to name what they want to change and then creates a plan that fits their life.

Griselda aims to make the process understandable and manageable for people who feel overwhelmed. For people balancing many demands, she offers straightforward options for check-ins and longer work. The goal is to help clients build skills, increase confidence, and find clearer ways forward from anxiety, trauma, and mood challenges.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Griselda uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and collaborative problem solving. One approach emphasizes learning coping skills for anxiety and panic - teaching breathing, grounding, and behavior strategies to manage acute symptoms and reduce avoidance. Another approach centers on processing trauma and difficult memories at a gentle pace while building safety and emotional regulation skills to reduce the intensity of upsetting memories.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will listen to your concerns, goals, and what feels manageable, then recommend techniques that fit your needs. That decision is made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay connected. Video calls are useful for full sessions with visual connection, phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or asking quick questions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while continuing consistent therapeutic work.
