Executive Therapy Online
People in positions of significant responsibility, or who are navigating high-stakes environments, often face a particular kind of pressure that is difficult to bring just anywhere. The demands are real, the pace is relentless, and the personal cost of it all tends to accumulate quietly, beneath the surface.
Executive therapy is first and foremost individual therapy. Not coaching, not performance optimization, and not a productivity tool. The aim is psychological — to understand what is happening internally, and to begin taking action in a way that is effective, workable, and realistic.
What tends to bring high-responsibility individuals to therapy is rarely a single dramatic crisis. More often, it is a gradual erosion: mounting tension between professional identity and personal life, a creeping sense of disconnection from what once felt meaningful, difficulty stepping out of the role, or anxiety that has quietly outpaced the capacity to manage it.
These experiences are common and recognizable — and they respond well to psychotherapeutic work.
What It Is For
​
People who come to me in this context are typically functioning at a high level by external measures, but finding that this offers less psychological protection than expected. They may be dealing with:
Chronic or accumulated stress or anxiety. Difficulty slowing down or disengaging from work mode — at home, in relationships, in private life. A sense of performing or maintaining an identity that has become difficult to sustain. Questions about direction, purpose, or needs. Self-defeating patterns such as excessive drinking, overwork, and emotional disconnection.
The presenting concerns vary. What is consistent is a need for a therapeutic space that takes their reality seriously, without pathologizing, simplifying, or offering unworkable solutions.
My Approach
​
I practice primarily Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — an evidence-based model that focuses on psychological flexibility and resilience: the capacity to stay in contact with what is actually happening, internally and externally, and move in directions that reflect what genuinely matters.
ACT does not treat the presence of difficult thoughts or feelings as a problem to be eliminated. The goal, rather, is to change one's relationship to those experiences — reducing the degree to which they dictate behavior, narrow options, or quietly drive decisions that would not otherwise be made.
As with standard individual counseling, a typical course of executive therapy consists of weekly 60-minute online sessions, as well as open access to me between sessions via text. You can find more information about sessions HERE, or you can contact me directly for an introductory consultation.
