Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and aim to produce usable skills for day-to-day life. Zeeil earned a Master of Social Work from Columbia University and holds an LCSW in New Jersey. Over five years she has worked with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, mood disorders, OCD, grief, and adjustment struggles.

That experience informs her practical, person-centered style. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and learn new ways of coping. Clients work on concrete strategies for emotion regulation, improving communication, and setting boundaries.

Zeeil emphasizes small, measurable steps that build toward bigger change. People seeking help for issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, caregiver stress, codependency, guilt and shame, or life purpose often find her approach useful. She also addresses practical concerns such as money stress and end-of-life caregiving.

Zeeil aims to meet each person where they are and tailor a plan that fits their goals.

Evidence-based tools for online care

Many of her methods come from well-studied approaches that teach concrete skills. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. These methods help with worry, intrusive thoughts, and establishing healthier routines.

Mindfulness-based practices are used to build awareness of bodily sensations and emotions without judgment. These practices can reduce reactivity, support emotion regulation, and help when stress feels overwhelming. Zeeil also incorporates creative expression like writing or art as a way to access feelings and explore meaning when words alone fall short.

Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. Zeeil works with each person to pick approaches that fit their goals, schedule, and what feels most helpful. She adjusts plans over time based on what is working and what needs refinement.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill coaching, phone sessions can be quieter or use less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a shorter contact fits your day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
