Therapy with Selene is offered in multiple formats to fit different schedules and needs. She works from Michigan and uses methods that combine present-moment awareness, skill practice, and attention to how past experiences show up now.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and respected. It helps when people want a space to talk through emotions and life decisions without judgment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It suits concerns like anxiety, depression, work stress, and relationship patterns that cause repeated problems.

Somatic and mindfulness techniques bring attention to bodily sensations and present-moment awareness. These approaches help with trauma responses, chronic stress, and managing strong emotions by teaching grounding and regulation skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, then try techniques that fit the client's needs. Over time the plan can shift based on what proves helpful, with the client and therapist deciding together.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different days and energy levels. Video is useful for deeper conversation and skills practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can work for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
