Zhenique Israelian, LMHC, LCMHC

Zhenique Israelian is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New Hampshire. She holds an MA and the LMHC and LCMHC credentials and brings 16 years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life transitions.

Her approach begins with listening. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Zhenique uses practical tools from several therapy approaches to support change. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and on attachment-based perspectives to look at relationship patterns. She also uses client-centered and emotionally-focused methods to hold a warm, empathetic space while addressing hard issues.

Many people come to her for help with caregiving stress, chronic pain or illness, and relationship wounds like abandonment or attachment concerns. She also works with issues such as body image, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and life purpose when those concerns affect day-to-day functioning.

Her style blends compassion with clear, usable strategies. She helps people set realistic goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track progress over time. Taking the first step can be hard, and she aims to make the process understandable and manageable for each person.

How these approaches support online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape how people feel and react. In sessions this looks like mapping patterns in relationships and trying small changes to feel safer and more connected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test out new behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, mood challenges, and changing routine reactions.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, what has helped before, and what feels most useful now. Together they’ll try methods and adjust based on what works, blending styles when that fits the concern.

If you are considering remote sessions, confirm the clinician's current session options before booking because formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce time spent traveling, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or make it simpler to attend when mobility is limited. It also lets people practice new skills in the places they live and make changes that carry over into everyday routines. Licensed professionals can help match session length and frequency to each person’s needs so therapy fits into daily life rather than replacing it.
