Background and approach
With 17 years of experience in Michigan, she has supported people through trauma, loss, and major life changes. She also helps those dealing with workplace stress, parenting strain, and issues around self-worth and codependency. Sessions look at daily patterns, relationship habits, and small steps that add up.
Selene emphasizes strengths and curiosity rather than blame. She helps clients name what feels overwhelming and build ways to move forward. The goals are clearer thinking, increased self-compassion, and more reliable coping skills.
Therapy can include talking, mindfulness practice, and somatic awareness exercises to notice how emotions show up in the body. She offers flexible formats to fit busy lives and supports clients who want steady, practical work on anxiety and life transitions.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's priorities and pace, with the therapist offering empathy and reflection to help people name what matters most. This approach is useful for anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns because it keeps the work aligned with the client's goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses clear, practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, brings skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These tools are helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationship patterns cause repeated conflict.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to try methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting as progress and feedback guide the work.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, handle a quick crisis handoff, or choose a format that feels comfortable for practicing skills.
