Background and approach

Selena pays attention to how life transitions and past experiences affect everyday functioning. She addresses things like panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and trouble with work or relationships. The work often includes identifying patterns and learning specific skills to cope better.

In addition to core concerns, she can support people dealing with commitment and communication problems, control issues, feelings of emptiness, and family of origin difficulties. Selena also works on self-love, forgiveness, and finding a clearer sense of life purpose. Therapy is offered in English and available through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that fits your timing.

Evidence-based approaches for online family and parenting support

Selena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and healing from trauma. One common approach helps people learn specific coping and relaxation skills to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. These techniques teach breathing, grounding, and step-by-step ways to respond when anxiety spikes.

Another approach centers on processing traumatic experiences and building safety in daily life. This work involves naming what happened, understanding its impact, and building routines and tools to reduce reactivity and improve sleep, mood, and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Selena works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals and comfort level. She reviews progress and adjusts plans so the work feels useful and practical rather than abstract.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy schedules. These formats let people join from home, keep appointments on the go, and use short check-ins between sessions when helpful. The goal is to offer flexible ways to practice new skills and stay consistent with treatment.
