Background and approach

She also brings experience supporting people facing identity questions, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and challenges related to trauma and abuse. Trelease uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She combines mindfulness tools that ground attention in the present moment to reduce overwhelm.

Trauma-focused methods are used when past events continue to shape daily life and coping. Her approach treats each person as the expert on their own story. Trelease works collaboratively to set goals and pick practical steps that fit a person’s life and rhythm.

She explains options clearly and adjusts the plan as needs change. People can take part in sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. The intake starts with a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling follows the therapist’s availability.

Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people spot patterns of thinking that make stress and anxiety worse and then try practical changes. It often focuses on small experiments and new habits that change feelings over time. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and bring focus back to the present moment. These tools can help with anxiety, low mood, and managing intense reactions. Trauma-focused therapy addresses how past events affect daily life and safety. It uses targeted methods to reduce the hold of those memories and build new ways of coping and trusting everyday routines. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted together as things change, so the fit can evolve. Online therapy lets people use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging to meet in ways that suit their schedules. This flexibility makes it easier to keep continuity when life is busy, to fit sessions around parenting or work, and to practice skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can guide skill practice and provide regular check-ins without the need to travel.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
