Background and approach
Ithaca helps clients set small goals and practice new skills between meetings. Her approach blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work. She also uses motivational interviewing to boost readiness for change.
Those methods are chosen to match a person's goals and pace. Over six years of work, she has assisted people with blended family tensions, commitment doubts, infidelity, divorce and separation, and challenges common to young adults. Her background includes helping people navigate life purpose, self-love, and workplace issues.
Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental presence and clear options for next steps. Ithaca outlines tasks, practices, and small experiments to try between sessions. The focus is on manageable change rather than long lectures.
Therapy with her is practical and collaborative. She supports people who want clearer communication, steadier moods, and more confidence as they move through life changes.
How Ithaca’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, asking questions and reflecting emotions to help clarify goals and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets patterns of thinking and behavior by teaching specific skills like tracking thoughts and trying small experiments to test new ways of responding.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Ithaca will discuss options and tailor methods to a person’s goals, pace, and comfort level. That collaborative planning helps decide whether to emphasize listening, skill-building, or motivation-focused work in online sessions.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make scheduling easier for busy lives. Video sessions let people practice communication skills and watch for nonverbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins, goal tracking, and on-the-go support between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, or parenting schedules while using the approaches above to address stress, relationships, and life changes.
