About Fidji
She uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. That means conversations focus on the client's priorities and on concrete ways to shift thoughts and behaviors that cause distress. Emotionally-focused techniques help when relationships and attachment patterns are central issues.
Fidji draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people build coping skills and find motivation for change. She adapts her methods for those dealing with chronic pain, illness, disability, or complicated life transitions. She also supports people who identify as LGBT and those coping with trauma and compassion fatigue.
Her work pays attention to cultural and spiritual values when clients want that included. She aims to create realistic steps people can use between sessions, whether the need is immediate coping or longer-term growth. Many clients seek her for self-esteem, anger, commitment, and communication concerns.
Fidji encourages a collaborative process where clients set goals and measure progress together. If a person is ready to explore options for managing stress, symptoms, or relationship patterns, she helps design a plan that fits daily life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the client’s concerns, helping people feel heard and shaping goals around what matters most. Online sessions can keep that same collaborative tone while concentrating each meeting on the client's priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in this context uses clear, practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes homework between sessions, thought records, and brief behavioral experiments that people can try in daily life and discuss in subsequent meetings.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps when relationship patterns and attachment are central. Online conversations can target how emotions show up in relationships and help people practice new ways of responding to partners or loved ones between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process with adjustments over time.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid commute time, and maintain consistent appointments. Some people find shorter check-ins or sessions outside usual business hours helpful for juggling work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
