About Pneurissa
She uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people build coping skills and regain a sense of control. Sessions often include exploring current problems, identifying patterns that keep someone stuck, and trying new ways of responding. The goal is to build small, manageable changes that add up over time.
Pneurissa pays attention to how family history and workplace dynamics shape a person’s struggles. She supports people dealing with attachment wounds, codependency, abandonment, and family of origin problems. She also addresses issues such as panic attacks, dissociation, self-harm thoughts, and mood disorders in straightforward, compassionate ways.
Faith and cultural context are respected in sessions when clients want that included. Pneurissa describes her style as warm and nonjudgmental, and she aims to help people reconnect with their strengths and values. Over seven years of practice, she has worked with a range of emotional and trauma-related concerns.

How trauma-informed and client-centered approaches work online
Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to help people process and reduce the hold of painful experiences. It typically focuses on understanding how trauma affects daily life, building coping skills, and working at a pace that feels manageable. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience, with the therapist offering empathy, reflection, and support to help someone find their own answers.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety or depression. It involves small experiments and practical strategies to change unhelpful habits and reduce symptoms. These approaches can be combined as needed to address trauma, panic, mood shifts, and relationship patterns in a straightforward way.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences, then try options that fit. This collaborative process helps shape sessions so they feel useful and aligned with what the client wants to accomplish.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as specific options should be checked in advance. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose setups that match their comfort with video, audio, or text, depending on what the therapist offers.
