Background and approach

She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice patterns and try small changes. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationships and communication. Sessions are collaborative and practical, focused on what clients want to change.

Her background includes 11 years of clinical practice as an LPC in Texas. She has experience supporting people through trauma, major life changes, and parenting stress. She works with emotional and relational concerns in ways that consider cultural and life context.

In sessions she uses clear, concrete steps alongside reflective listening. People can expect exercises to build emotional regulation, strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts, and attention to bodily sensations that affect mood. Goals are set together and revised as needed.

Services are offered in English and Igbo, and international clients may be seen. Therapy can be scheduled in formats that fit a person’s life and communication style.

How somatic and evidence-based approaches translate online

Somatic-oriented work pays attention to how emotions show up in the body. Online sessions can include guided awareness of breath, posture, and physical sensations to help reduce tension and ground emotion. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed actions; it helps people move toward what matters despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people build safer ways of connecting and communicating.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify goals and then blends methods that fit those goals and preferences. That way the work evolves based on what helps most, not on a fixed plan.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, follow up between meetings, and use different ways of communicating as needed. Licensed professionals can adapt somatic exercises, values work, and attachment-focused conversations to these formats to support ongoing progress.
