Background and approach
Helena uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thinking, and client-centered methods to let a person's priorities guide the work. She also draws on dialectical behavior ideas for emotional regulation and practical coping skills when stress or intense feelings become overwhelming.
Many people seek her help for anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship strains, parenting stress, and difficulties with self-esteem or motivation. She also helps with addiction-related concerns, career transitions, and compassion fatigue for caregivers. Her sessions aim to be concrete and usable.
Conversations lead to doable skills, new perspectives, and a plan for the next steps. She works with each person to set goals and measure progress over time.
Approach and online options that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experiences, with the therapist listening closely and helping clarify priorities and next steps. This approach is useful when someone needs respect for their choices and a gentle, guiding presence.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, shift unhelpful thinking, and change patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for handling strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. It can be helpful when stress or intense feelings make it hard to think clearly or stay connected with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences, and then shape a plan together. That makes the process collaborative and adaptable as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversations, phone can suit lower bandwidth situations, live chat or messaging fit quick check-ins or people who prefer text, and all options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
