Her sessions tend to be collaborative and straightforward. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Mindfulness practices are offered when clients are open to them, and solution-focused techniques help create concrete next steps.

She often helps people dealing with life changes such as divorce, career shifts, postpartum challenges, or midlife transitions. Issues like guilt, shame, loneliness, and burnout are addressed with practical strategies and supportive conversation. Work with grief, intimacy concerns, and process addictions is framed around manageable goals and steady progress.

Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, so people can choose what fits their schedule. English-language care is provided and international clients are not accepted. The fee varies by location and a subscription model is used that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability. Dr. Wasserman aims to make the first steps clear and simple so people can focus on what brought them to therapy.

Practical approaches that work online

Dr. Wasserman commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, low mood, or addictive patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship so each person guides the pace and content of their work.

She also offers mindfulness techniques when clients want them. These practices teach simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations, which can help with stress, overwhelm, and mood regulation. Picking the right approach is a team effort - the therapist and client decide together what fits the person’s goals, preferences, and life context, and then adjust as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or text are helpful for brief check-ins or when a written approach feels better. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, parenting, or medical visits and to try different formats as needs change.
