About Eugenia
Eugenia earned a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling in 1999 from St. Thomas University and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from Florida Atlantic University. She brings long-term experience supporting people with complex or chronic mental health concerns, including mood disorders, personality concerns, and substance use issues. Her background also includes work in foster care, corrections, and with a wide age range of clients.
Her approach centers on listening without judgment and helping clients see problems from new angles. She emphasizes that therapy is a collaborative process where the client’s insights matter most. Sessions focus on practical steps for coping, problem solving, and managing daily stressors.
Eugenia uses techniques drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, emotionally-focused ideas, and motivational interviewing. She aims to match tools to each person’s situation rather than apply a single method to everyone.
People often come to her for help with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, ADHD, self-esteem, chronic illness, and communication or commitment concerns. She supports exploration of feelings, clearer decision making, and building everyday coping skills.

How her approaches shape online therapy
Eugenia draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening, validating feelings, and helping people lead the conversation about what matters most. Cognitive behavioral strategies look at thoughts and behaviors to build clearer coping steps for anxiety, depression, and daily stress.She also uses emotionally-focused ideas to help people understand relationship patterns and strong emotions. These approaches aim to increase emotional awareness and improve communication, which can be useful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and conflict-related stress. The therapist and client decide together which mix of methods fits best.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Eugenia will help identify goals, test different techniques, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process makes it easier to try homework, practice new skills, and notice progress over time.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while working toward clearer thinking and better coping.
