Vida brings a compassionate, empathic, and intuitive presence to the therapeutic relationship, offering a steady witness as clients navigate difficult transitions, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, mood concerns, addictions, and issues related to identity and intimacy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Vida integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s own goals and values guide the process; it is useful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and exploring identity. CBT offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and managing stress.Vida also uses elements of emotionally-focused therapy to help partners and individuals explore attachment needs and emotional responses in relationships, improving connection and communication. She approaches each person from an existential perspective that honors meaning, choice, and personal responsibility while integrating mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness and emotional regulation.
Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. Vida works with clients to identify goals, test strategies, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful, so the therapeutic plan evolves with the client’s needs and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists can offer different tools, and Vida aims to tailor those tools to each individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from home or work.
