Background and approach

Selina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and integrates acceptance-based and attachment-focused ideas to support emotional balance and healthier relationships. She adapts each plan to the individual's needs, using a warm, interactive style that encourages active participation and skill building.

In practice she may combine elements of ACT, attachment-based work, emotionally-focused techniques, and client-centered listening to address issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and personality-related challenges. Selina holds an LPC in Georgia (GA LPC LPC007945) and has three years of clinical experience.

Her approach emphasizes practical strategies alongside compassionate support to help clients navigate change and build more workable daily habits.

Approaches and Online Care for Building Practical Skills

Selina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop concrete skills for changing behaviors and mood. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often useful for stress, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and patterns that maintain unhealthy habits.

She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing internal experiences and choosing actions that align with personal values. ACT can support people who want to increase psychological flexibility and reduce avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore relational patterns and emotional bonds, helping clients understand how early connections influence current relationships and coping strategies.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting plans as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These formats make it easier to access regular support while accommodating different routines, helping clients practice skills between sessions and maintain continuity of care.
