Background and approach
A postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco added mindfulness and motivational interviewing to her toolbox. These experiences shaped how she blends different techniques in sessions. In therapy she aims to make strategies easy to use in daily life.
Sessions often include skill-building, short behavioral experiments, and mindfulness practice tailored to what a person already does each day. She pays attention to eating-related patterns such as stress eating and binge eating, and helps people notice triggers and replace them with workable routines. Dr.
Radin also addresses mood and anxiety symptoms, sleep trouble, relationship stress, and problems with self-esteem. She brings a calm, practical approach and focuses on small changes that add up over time. Her background includes work on health-related behavior change like diabetes and obesity management.
Her practice combines cognitive-behavioral ideas, acceptance-oriented work, and mindfulness strategies so people can build skills that fit their lives. She encourages clear goals and collaborative planning so progress is measurable and meaningful.
Therapeutic methods and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It supports work on motivation, stress, mood, and life direction by focusing on small committed steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, then teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep troubles, and eating-related behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy involves short practices and attention exercises that reduce reactivity and improve awareness of habits like stress-related eating or impulsive behavior.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and try techniques together to find what fits. Plans are adjusted over time so they match a person’s daily life, needs, and preferences rather than following a fixed script.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, homework prompts, and flexible contact between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and busy schedules while supporting consistent progress.
