She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, relationship strain, parenting, grief, trauma and family issues. Pascale works with adults who are navigating life changes and the pressures that come from home and work.
She uses approaches like Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused methods. Sessions often include practical skills, mindfulness exercises, and short homework or reading to practice between meetings. Pascale emphasizes reconnecting people to the things that matter most to them.
Pascale has worked in settings that included crisis management and serious mental health conditions, and she has experience supporting people with compassion fatigue and the stresses of caregiving. Her background includes work with LGBTQ clients and attention to blended family and family-of-origin issues.

She draws on meditation and mindfulness in her work and sometimes assigns skill-building tasks to reinforce change.

In sessions she aims for straightforward conversation and practical steps that fit day-to-day life.

How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Pascale integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in straightforward ways. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, clarifying what matters to the client, and shaping the work around their goals. CBT looks at current thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change unhelpful patterns.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness when needed. DBT tools include simple exercises to manage intense emotions and improve communication during conflicts at home. Together these approaches aim to teach practical skills that people can apply between sessions.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and adjust techniques as progress is observed. That collaboration helps decide whether to emphasize mindfulness, CBT skills, or solution-focused steps for a particular concern.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use mindfulness practices and homework exercises at convenient times so progress can continue between meetings.
