Background and approach

She helps people notice what matters to them, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and try new ways of responding to hard situations. Tisela uses everyday language and clear tools you can use between meetings. Her approach blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered listening.

She also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative methods to help people find direction and make changes that fit their values. Sessions can address social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, family of origin issues, and struggles with guilt or shame. Tisela has worked with people navigating cancer, chronic conditions, and the practical fallout of serious illness.

She also supports those facing money worries, purpose questions, and isolation. Her goal is to help each person leave sessions with one or two useful steps to try. People can meet with Tisela through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

She guides the first steps and helps set realistic goals so progress feels manageable.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters most and take small actions that reflect those values. It is useful when worry or pain keeps someone stuck and they want to try living in line with their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. It often involves practical exercises to change patterns that cause stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels realistic and focused on measurable steps.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you work face to face when schedules align. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messages allow brief check-ins or written reflections between longer meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around school, work, or medical appointments.
