About Selina
Her work blends practical techniques with a person-centered attitude. Selina uses tools from cognitive behavioral methods and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build actions that match their values. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and emotionally-focused methods to address intense feelings.
Selina personalizes each plan. She avoids labels and listens first to understand what matters most to the person in front of her. Then she and the client set clear goals and try concrete steps that fit day-to-day life.
Her additional focus areas include concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care history, caregiver stress, body image, blended family issues, and aging and geriatric issues. These topics often come with practical problems and strong emotions, and Selina works to break those down into manageable steps.
With three years of clinical experience in Georgia, Selina aims to make therapy approachable. Conversations are straightforward and collaborative, with attention to small changes that can make daily life easier.
People who want a respectful, down-to-earth counselor who combines hands-on strategies with empathetic listening may find her style helpful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values. It helps with depression, anxiety, stress, and problems that come from avoiding difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help people understand repeating relationship problems and caregiver stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. Work is collaborative, and plans are adjusted based on what helps most in daily life.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let someone join from different locations when travel or caregiving makes in-person visits difficult. The focus in online work stays on clear goals, homework between sessions, and practical steps that can be used immediately at home or during the day.
