Background and approach
Somatic techniques help people notice and work with physical tension that comes with strong emotions. Her style is firm but caring. She aims to create a space where people can be honest and try things that feel new.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, real-world strategies, and step-by-step progress. Helen pays attention to the stories people tell about themselves and looks for ways to loosen stories that hold them back. She also supports work around life purpose and self-love when those topics come up.
The focus is on small, doable changes that add up over time. Based in California, Helen offers help through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. She works with a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and tailors plans to each person’s needs.

How Helen’s Approaches Work Online
Helen often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and patterns through practical exercises and experiments. CBT helps with anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem by teaching clear tools to test worries and build confidence.She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach breathing, grounding, and attention practices that reduce reactivity in the moment. Mindfulness exercises are easy to practice between sessions and can lower day-to-day stress. Somatic therapy is another element she brings in to help people notice body sensations tied to emotions and learn ways to loosen physical tension that fuels anxiety.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist and client talk about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. Helen supports people in deciding what works best for their situation and preferences.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist observe facial cues and body language while keeping sessions flexible. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging provide short check-ins, ongoing encouragement, and easier scheduling around work or family demands. These options make therapy more accessible and adaptable to different routines.
