More about Naina

  • 6 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

You’re great at your job. You can debug complex systems and manage high-stakes deployments, but you can’t seem to "logic" your way out of burnout or the constant hum of anxiety. If you’ve tried therapy before and felt like it was too slow, too "touchy-feely," or lacked a clear objective, you’re not alone.

We focus on:

Performance & Burnout: Strategies to reclaim your focus without sacrificing your career.

Analytical Communication: Learning to navigate relationships and social anxiety without feeling fake.

Neurodivergent-Friendly Support: Specialized care for brains that process information differently. You don't need a "journey"—you need strategies that work

I’ll support you to develop genuine resilience and practical strategies for balance. A life where you achieve success without sacrificing your well-being is possible. Ready to see results? Let’s get to work. Book a session today. Call me 203 488 2984

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
