Background and approach

She draws on somatic ideas to help people notice how emotions show up in the body. She also uses attachment-based and client-centered approaches to build safety and trust in the room. Cognitive behavioral tools and emotion-focused work are offered when practical skills or deeper emotional processing are helpful.

Sessions are conversational and grounded in the client’s everyday life. Nenette helps people identify small, concrete steps they can try between meetings. She pays attention to patterns like abandonment, attachment wounds, and codependency that keep problems repeating.

She also supports clients coping with family stress, blended family challenges, communication problems, and separation issues. Topics such as body image, guilt, shame, and forgiveness are addressed with straightforward guidance and compassion. Nenette explains options clearly and partners with people as they try new strategies.

Her style is calm, direct, and practical, aimed at helping clients feel more steady and able to manage life’s demands.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Somatic work focuses on noticing physical sensations and how emotions show up in the body. In online sessions this might look like guided attention to breathing, posture, or gentle movement paired with talking about what comes up. It can help people who feel stuck in high stress or trauma responses.

Attachment-based therapy pays attention to patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. Online conversations use questions and reflections to identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy centers the person’s experience and follows their pace, offering a supportive space to be heard and understood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with each person to choose what fits their goals and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time as needs change, so the approach is a shared decision rather than a fixed prescription.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, and other demands. They also allow people to access consistent support without long commutes, while still using the same therapeutic tools and interactions they would in person.
