LD Wellness Counseling

Compassionate, Grounded Therapy for Global Citizens & Families

Living across cultures offers incredible opportunities, but it often comes with distinct, invisible complexities—relocation fatigue, identity shifts, isolation, and relationship strain far from your home support network. As an internationally based, US-licensed clinician with over a decade of experience, I provide confidential, culturally affirmative online therapy tailored to the rhythms of an international life.

I partner with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and diverse families across the globe. My work integrates evidence-based frameworks—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and the Gottman Method—to provide immediate relief alongside long-term emotional resilience.

Core Focus Areas for Expatriates:

Cross-Cultural Stress & Adjustment: Navigating culture fatigue, chronic dislocation, and establishing home in unfamiliar environments.

Third Culture Kids (TCKs) & Family Dynamics: Developmentally attuned support for children and teens facing international transitions, school changes, emotional regulation, and neurodivergence (ADHD/ASD).

Anxiety, Panic & Depression: Practical tools to quiet chronic worry, overwhelm, and mood challenges while living abroad.

Couples & Relationship Strain: Fostering deeper communication, partnership alignment, and conflict resolution during cross-border moves and career shifts.

Repatriation & Life Transitions: Managing reverse culture shock and redefining personal identity when returning home or transitioning to a new posting.

Practical & Flexible Care:

Sessions are held online via a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. I offer flexible scheduling across time zones—including convenient morning, evening, and weekend options—and provide discreet self-pay services as well as documentation for international or out-of-network insurance reimbursement.
