About Csilla
Csilla Hajnal is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, and low self-esteem. She aims to make the first steps feel manageable and practical for people who are unsure where to begin.
Her work centers on building an individualized plan with each person. That plan is based on the person's goals and what feels most useful to them.
How Csilla works
She uses structured assessments when appropriate to highlight strengths and growth areas in relationships. Csilla has spent recent years helping adolescents move toward their treatment goals. She also supports people dealing with communication problems, divorce and separation, isolation and loneliness, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety and phobia.
Her approach is flexible so she can adjust methods as needs change. She can use guided tools to identify patterns and practical steps to change them. For parenting questions she draws on approaches that emphasize encouraging desired behavior.
Sessions are focused on clear, achievable steps rather than long explanations. People meet her for a mix of problem-solving, skill building, and honest conversation. She aims to make sessions straightforward and respectful, so clients leave with concrete actions to try between appointments.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Many clinicians use evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is skills-based therapy, which teaches concrete tools for managing anxiety and mood. These tools include breathing, thought reframing, and step-by-step exposure to reduce fear and avoidance.Another useful method is trauma-informed work that helps people process difficult experiences at a pace they can manage. That approach emphasizes safety, pacing, and techniques for reducing reactivity so daily life becomes more manageable.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan can change when needed.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people maintain face-to-face connection without travel. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short check-ins, quick skill reminders, or a way to write through thoughts between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
