Background and approach
She listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and works with them to try different strategies. The goal is to find small changes that reduce distress and build coping skills. Her background as a therapist of color informs how she holds culture and identity in sessions.
She welcomes conversations about spirituality when that is important to the person she is seeing. Griselda tries to give space for each person’s values and life story while working toward practical goals. Over eight years she has helped people navigate panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and low self-worth.
She offers a mix of short-term coping tools and longer-term skill-building. Meetings are collaborative and paced to match what each person needs. Griselda practices in Indiana and offers services in English and Spanish.
She provides sessions in several online formats, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Griselda uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on symptoms and daily life. One common approach she uses teaches concrete coping skills for anxiety and panic attacks, such as grounding and breathing practices to lower immediate intensity. These tools are useful when panic feels overwhelming and a quick way to regain control.Another emphasis is on trauma-informed work that helps people process painful memories and reduce their impact on daily functioning. This often includes pacing interventions and skills to manage reactions when past events are triggered. When spirituality matters to a person, she can also include faith-informed conversations to align healing with personal beliefs.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust plans based on what works. The therapist and client decide together which techniques to focus on over time.
Online therapy makes regular care more flexible and easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill teaching and deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coaching, and ongoing support between sessions.
