Neva helps people sort through immediate worries and longer-term struggles.

When addiction or domestic violence issues are present, she attends to safety and practical resources alongside therapy work.
Neva emphasizes building self-respect and better day-to-day coping. She supports people working through relationship strain without assuming blame or quick fixes. Her approach balances emotional work with concrete tools for behavior change.

BHow sessions work
How CBT and DBT inform online sessions
Neva uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often focus on identifying patterns, setting clear goals, and practicing small experiments between meetings to test new ways of thinking.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques are practical skills people can use when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are tense.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Neva will work with each person to decide whether CBT, DBT, or a mix makes the most sense based on current needs and goals. That decision can shift over time as progress and new challenges appear.
The directory indicates session options should be confirmed before booking, so check current session formats when you schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins around work or caregiving responsibilities. Talk with her during the first meeting about how to structure sessions so they fit your routine and goals.
