She offers steady, compassionate support for stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, and issues that affect self-esteem and motivation.

How Selina’s Methods Fit Online Work
Selina uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage thoughts, feelings, and actions. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps that matter, which is useful for coping with midlife transitions or chronic stress. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors, helping people change unhelpful patterns and build new habits for mood, sleep, or substance use.She also integrates Attachment-Based ideas and Client-Centered principles to prioritize the therapeutic relationship. That means attention to how past relationships shape current reactions, and a steady, respectful listening stance during sessions. Choosing the right mix of methods is a shared process - Selina will help decide what fits best based on each person’s goals and preferences.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It also lets people continue care through relocations or when managing chronic illness. Licensed professionals use these options to focus on practical skills, emotional processing, and real-world steps you can take between sessions.
