About Cheli
Cheli believes clients are the experts on their own stories. She uses that perspective to build practical steps forward. Sessions are aimed at drawing out strengths and making small, manageable changes. She encourages people to notice what’s already working and try new ways of coping.
In the room she blends several approaches to match individual needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help spot patterns of thinking and change unhelpful behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current reactions and helps people shift those patterns.
She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for processing traumatic memories when appropriate. Client-Centered Therapy guides sessions around what a person brings each week rather than a set agenda.
Cheli works with a wide range of issues including ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, anger, codependency, and jealousy. She aims to create a practical, approachable space where people can try new responses and recover a steadier sense of control.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Cheli uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought and behavior patterns, test new responses, and reduce stress from recurring worries. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood challenges, and some habits that feel stuck.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and closeness. This approach helps people understand triggers and try different ways of relating. When trauma is a major concern, she may integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to work through distressing memories in a paced way.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Cheli will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to focus on and adjust those choices as progress unfolds.
If you are interested in online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find it simpler to practice new skills between meetings when sessions are more convenient, and licensed professionals can guide that process virtually just as they would in person.
