Background and approach

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. In conversation she mixes skill-building with mindful awareness so clients can notice thoughts without getting stuck. She also helps people set clear goals and practice new responses between sessions.

With six years of experience and an Illinois LCSW credential, Masi blends structure with empathy. She treats mood disorders, panic and post-traumatic stress, and supports people dealing with grief or major life transitions. She also works on career stress, compassion fatigue, and issues around self-love and purpose.

Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients. Masi offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, a person completes a brief matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.

How Masi’s methods translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward them. It supports people who struggle with anxiety, avoidance, or feeling stuck by focusing on actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, panic, sleep problems, and mood symptoms because it teaches concrete skills to change reactions and routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Masi will collaborate with each person to find what fits best based on goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up. That might mean combining ACT and CBT tools with mindfulness practice or motivational interviewing to boost readiness for change.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and live skill practice. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates, try exercises between sessions, or check in on progress without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep working on skills between appointments.
