About Helen

She brings ten years of clinical experience and a trauma-informed outlook to sessions. Helen prioritizes understanding what feels most urgent and builds coping strategies that fit daily life.
Background and approach
She explains options plainly and helps people try approaches that match their needs. Sessions aim to be collaborative and respectful. Helen listens, reflects what she hears, and then helps people set small, doable goals.
The work often includes learning skills to manage stress and practicing new ways to respond to hard emotions. Her background includes licensure in Florida as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor and in South Dakota as an LPC-MH. Those credentials guide her clinical practice while she focuses on practical care for everyday problems and intense moments alike.
People come for short-term help with a specific problem or for longer work on patterns that keep resurfacing. Helen supports people who are navigating life changes, recovery from loss, or the lingering effects of traumatic events. She aims to help people feel steadier and more able to handle what comes next.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Helen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in a straightforward, practical way. One common method focuses on skills training to manage anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and behavior steps that help reduce overwhelm in the moment. Another element is trauma-informed care, which means she pays attention to safety, pacing, and how past events affect current reactions, useful for first responder concerns and trauma recovery.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Helen will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, symptoms, and day-to-day life. That collaborative process can include trying different tools and adjusting the plan as needed so treatment fits practical needs and personal preferences.
Online therapy with Helen is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging work for brief check-ins or when a written format feels better. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or when travel is difficult, while keeping the therapeutic focus on usable skills and steady progress.
