About Griselda
Griselda Abreu is an LCSW who helps people manage anxiety, depression, and trauma. She focuses on building self-compassion and practical coping skills. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at making therapy understandable for people under stress.
Abreu brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions. She listens for how guilt, shame, and low self-esteem show up in daily life. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to create steps a person can try between sessions. That can include short practices to lower anxiety or ways to notice and shift harsh self-talk.
She also offers support that includes faith when a client wants spiritual perspective included. That means she invites conversations about beliefs and how they affect healing and hope. She works with each person to blend practical skills and personal values so progress fits their life.
As a therapist of color, Abreu pays attention to culture and identity in therapy. She aims to honor each person’s story and the context around their struggles. This often helps people feel seen and more willing to try new ways of coping.
People concerned about panic attacks, ongoing anxiety, or post-traumatic stress can expect a calm, concrete approach. Sessions focus on small, achievable changes and on building tools for when stress spikes. The overall goal is increased emotional steadiness and more self-kindness over time.
Evidence-based tools and online care that fit daily life
Griselda uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. One common approach she relies on teaches skills for managing strong anxiety symptoms and panic, such as breathing strategies, grounding practices, and stepwise exposure to feared situations. Another approach emphasizes processing trauma and painful memories in a paced way, helping people reduce the hold past events have on day-to-day functioning.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist and client review what feels most helpful, try practical tools in session, and adjust the plan based on results and personal values. This collaborative process helps tailor techniques to each person’s needs and goals.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people maintain regular work on anxiety skills from where they are, while the therapist helps apply techniques to real-life situations.
