About Athina
She uses a mix of practical, talk-based methods to help people manage symptoms and make decisions. Sessions often look at how thoughts and actions affect mood and relationships. She teaches skills for handling panic, social anxiety, and workplace stress while also addressing guilt, shame, and isolation.
Athina draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, mindfulness practices, and Motivational Interviewing. That means conversations may include noticing thoughts, testing new behaviors, and clarifying values. She aims to help clients practice small changes between sessions and track what works.
Her work pays attention to relationship patterns like codependency, communication problems, divorce or separation, and rebuilding trust after loss. She also supports people through postpartum depression and seasonal affective disorder and addresses phobias and panic attacks in focused ways.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Massachusetts. Note that international clients are not accepted. Before booking, confirm the current session formats offered as the biography does not list them explicitly.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Athina uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions in line with those values. ACT often focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and moving toward chosen goals despite them.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. CBT offers concrete exercises that can reduce panic attacks, social anxiety, and low mood by changing daily habits and reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Athina collaborates with clients to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. She will adjust techniques as sessions progress and as clients learn what helps.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm which formats she currently offers before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some approaches lend themselves to at-home practice tasks, worksheets, and between-session exercises that translate well to remote sessions.
