These tools are used in straightforward, step-by-step ways so clients can try them outside sessions. For parents and those connected to athletes, she offers performance coaching that covers visualization, confidence building, and strategies to manage pressure.

Reimi draws on a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Boston College and over a decade of clinical practice. She aims to be practical, respectful, and nonjudgmental while helping people set realistic goals and measure progress.
Evidence-based approaches and online care

It is useful for worry, low self-esteem, and attention-related challenges.She also teaches behavioral strategies and self-regulation techniques. These focus on changing routines, building small habits, and using mindfulness to lower reactivity. These tools help with stress, anger, and maintaining consistent attention during daily tasks or competition.
Finding the right combination of techniques is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps most. This collaborative process lets the client shape the plan and learn skills at a comfortable pace.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations of techniques. Phone sessions can fit into a short break and take less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can work for quick check-ins, practice prompts, and regular coaching between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum on skill practice.
