About Ava
She uses active listening to understand what matters most to each person. Early sessions focus on identifying areas clients want to change and increasing self-awareness. From there she works with clients to develop self-worth, better coping strategies, and tools they can use outside sessions.
Ava brings 14 years of experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and ongoing stress. She also addresses relationship concerns, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, anger, and issues tied to money and midlife shifts. Additional focus areas include post-traumatic stress, self-harm, sexual assault and abuse, and first responder issues.
Her approach draws on several hand-on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Those methods are used in service of concrete goals like reducing overwhelming thoughts, improving communication, and managing strong emotions.
People who prefer straightforward, practical therapy tend to do well with her style. She invites prospective clients to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.
Approaches that translate well to online counseling
Ava uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions based on values, which can help during major life changes and ongoing stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns in thinking and behavior and practicing specific skills to reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together choose methods that feel most useful. Sessions can mix approaches over time as goals change and progress is made.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also supports consistent attendance during life transitions by letting people schedule around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
