About Reshma
Reshma Antony is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington. She has four years of clinical experience helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship and family tensions, trauma and abuse, and bipolar disorder. She speaks English and Malayalam and offers multiple online session formats to fit different needs.
Reshma aims to make sessions feel open and nonjudgmental. She focuses on creating space where people can share thoughts and feelings honestly.
Background and approach
Her approach is practical and straightforward, with attention to what feels manageable for each person. In session she listens closely to what matters most and helps identify small, concrete steps forward. Conversations tend to focus on coping strategies, communication skills, and ways to reduce overwhelming emotions.
She also addresses patterns like codependency, attachment issues, or difficulties after separation or loss. She has particular experience supporting people who have experienced domestic violence, abandonment, dissociation, and other trauma-related reactions. She also works with concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, and problems with commitment or control.
Reshma combines experience and a calm presence to guide people through change. She encourages clients to experiment with new responses between sessions and to notice what helps. The process is collaborative and paced to each person's goals and readiness.
Approaches that fit online care
Reshma uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and practical change. One approach emphasizes teaching coping strategies for anxiety and stress, like breathing techniques, grounding, and brief behavioral changes to reduce overwhelm. These tools are useful for day-to-day symptoms and moments of high anxiety.Another common focus is improving communication and relationship skills. Sessions work on how to express needs, set boundaries, and repair conflict step by step, which helps with family tensions, blended family issues, and post-separation challenges. For trauma-related concerns she applies methods that help people manage dissociation and overwhelming memories by building safety and stabilizing responses first.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust techniques over time in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is good for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can suit brief check-ins or quick homework support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
