About Caress
She works with people coping with major life changes and with ongoing mood concerns, including bipolar disorder and panic attacks. Chronic pain, caregiver stress, workplace strain, and family of origin issues are also part of her practice. Her background includes supporting survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence and addressing disruptive mood dysregulation concerns.
In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a direct, practical style. That means she helps people name what’s happening, practice new ways of responding, and set concrete steps for change. She balances straightforward guidance with a calm, nonjudgmental manner so people can try new skills without feeling judged.
People who meet with her can expect help building stronger emotional regulation and clearer personal limits. She aims to tailor each plan to a person’s needs and goals. Caress invites people who are ready to explore change to begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Her work is offered in English and she accepts clients located internationally. Costs vary by location and availability and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based techniques guide online care
Caress uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage strong emotions and live with ongoing health or mood challenges. One approach focuses on emotion regulation skills that teach practical ways to reduce overwhelm, tolerate distress, and respond less reactively to triggers. This can help with panic attacks, mood swings, and daily stressors. Another approach emphasizes building boundaries and clearer communication, with step-by-step practice for saying no, setting limits, and improving workplace or family interactions.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist and client will work together to identify which techniques fit the person’s needs and goals. That collaborative process helps shape session plans and homework so people can see what helps most in real life.
