My goal in working with clients is to be a partner and guide clients to recognize their own resiliency. Oftentimes clients don’t realize some of the ways they are already coping with their problems effectively. Clients who seek therapy are motivated to address their problems and find solutions that improve their quality of life. I believe in using Solution-Focused Therapy techniques to help clients receive quicker relief from symptoms. Productive counseling sessions focus on problem-solving vs on-going discussions about the problem itself. People succeed when they recognize their strengths, resources and find ways to deal with problems which may include striving for change or making peace with acceptance. Sometimes success is measured by any degree of positive change no matter how small. Celebrating the tiny steps of progress helps build momentum toward achieving future goals. My focus question is often “What is different or better since the last time I saw you?”

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Nellie Finn. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Very professional and does her best to understand and support what is needed.
