About Pascale
Her clinical experience spans mindfulness-based approaches, anxiety disorders, depression, grief and loss, compassion fatigue, crisis management, homelessness, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and coping with life changes. She has worked with individuals, couples, children, teenagers, veterans and military families during deployment, older adults, LGBTQIA clients, and groups, tailoring treatment plans to each person or family’s specific needs.
Pascale draws on training in mindfulness and meditation, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, solution-focused therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy. She values reading and skill-building homework as useful complements to in-session work. Fluent in English, French, Lebanese-Arabic, and some Spanish, she conducts therapy in English and brings sensitivity to multicultural experiences and the challenges faced by immigrants.
Having lived and traveled in multiple countries and survived a war, she emphasizes resilience and practical strategies for healing. She is also the author and illustrator of the book "Being With Heart: How to Thrive in Life With A Tender Heart." Pascale approaches therapy with dignity, compassion, and respect, offering support as clients take the courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling life.
Integrating Therapeutic Approaches into Online Care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathic relationship where the therapist listens closely and supports clients as they explore values, goals, and personal strengths; this approach is helpful for life transitions, self-esteem work, grief, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress while teaching practical coping skills that can be practiced between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress, which can be particularly useful for clients facing recurring relational conflicts or strong emotional reactivity.
Pascale approaches the choice of methods as a collaborative process. She partners with each client to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan over time based on what is working.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limits. These options allow clients to receive consistent support from licensed professionals in ways that match their communication style, maintain momentum between sessions, and make therapy easier to fit into everyday life.
