How Destini works
Sessions are conversational and goal-directed, with an emphasis on skills that can be used between meetings. Cognitive behavioral techniques are part of her practice when thoughts and behaviors get in the way of daily life. She offers tools to test unhelpful thinking and to build routines that reduce anxiety and low mood.
Dialectical behavior skills and mindfulness practices are used to manage strong emotions and improve day-to-day coping. Destini brings four years of professional experience and holds an LMSW, a Licensed Master Social Worker. Her background includes work with multicultural individuals and people exploring gender identity and gender dysphoria.
She works from Michigan and conducts sessions in English. Practical matters are straightforward: sessions can include skills coaching, talking through recent events, or planning steps to reduce risky behaviors. Destini frames therapy as a partnership where clients lead and she offers guidance, tools, and encouragement along the way.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. In online sessions this means conversations that center what matters most to the client and build plans from their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people test and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Over video or phone, CBT often uses worksheets, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies concrete skills for handling strong emotions and improving relationships. Mindfulness elements teach grounding and present-moment awareness, which can be practiced between sessions. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust strategies over time. Clients help guide which techniques are most useful and the therapist offers tools, coaching, and accountability. Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins, skill coaching, and ongoing support easier to fit into a busy day.Start online instead of waiting
