This perspective informs a practical, compassionate approach aimed at reducing anxiety, rebuilding self-esteem, and improving relationships.

Mihaela works with individuals navigating transitions such as breakup, separation, divorce, career change, or an empty nest, as well as those who feel stuck or uncertain about their next steps.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, she brings a blend of clinical skill and coaching sensibility to support sustainable change and growth.

Attachment-Informed and Trauma-Aware Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and interpersonal dynamics. It helps people understand responses to closeness, abandonment, and trust and supports healthier ways of relating in adult relationships.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing past harm and reducing its ongoing impact on the body and emotions. It often includes techniques for nervous system regulation and can be useful for those dealing with abuse, trauma, or persistent anxiety related to past events.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical strategies for noticing thoughts and sensations without getting swept away by them. This approach can aid in managing stress, improving emotional regulation, and strengthening self-compassion.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mihaela works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as growth unfolds.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer connecting from home. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions and can increase accessibility for people in different parts of California. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver consistent, goal-focused work tailored to each individual.
