Background and approach

She uses clear tools to address overwhelming emotions and recurring patterns that get in the way of functioning. Her work draws on client-centered therapy to follow the person's lead and on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior strategies also appear in her approach when clients need skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

She also brings perspectives from existential and Jungian ideas to help people find meaning and understand deeper personal patterns when those concerns are relevant. These approaches are used in plain language and tied to specific goals, not as abstract theory. Quencina offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their routine.

Therapeutic approaches that translate online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's pace. Online sessions let clients talk about what matters most while the therapist reflects and clarifies concerns to shape goals together.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. In video or phone sessions this work can include thought records, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step homework to practice between meetings.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. Those skills can be taught through short coaching exchanges in text, practiced in live chat, or reviewed in longer video sessions depending on what fits the client.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new issues arise.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text-based messaging helps with brief updates or ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a routine and keep momentum between sessions.
