Background and approach

She uses mindfulness and breathing tools to reduce overwhelm and CBT techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Pascale has worked across many settings and with people facing major life changes, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to mood disorders and trauma. She emphasizes dignity, sensitivity, and respect as part of her work.

Clients may be asked to try brief homework between sessions to build new habits. Therapy is shaped around each person’s needs and goals. Conversations are collaborative and focused on small, achievable steps.

The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. She carries experience helping people with addiction concerns, ADHD, intimacy issues, parenting strain, body image, and family of origin matters. Pascale also draws on solution-focused strategies when people want clear steps and faster problem solving.

People considering therapy can expect a straightforward intake and a plan that balances skills practice, mindfulness, and talking through problems. Pascale works in California and conducts therapy in English.

Practical therapeutic tools online using mindfulness and CBT

Pascale often uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy during online work. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around what the person says is important, which helps build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers concrete techniques to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change patterns that get in the way.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. DBT skills give simple steps for handling strong feelings and improving communication in tense moments. Together these approaches provide practical tools and short exercises you can try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest an approach or combination of approaches. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most, so the work stays focused and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and guided skill practice. Phone calls can fit into a busy day and work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text sessions suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or written reflection. These options make it easier to use therapy around work, school, and family commitments.
