You’ve tried to push through it—but it’s not working
The same thoughts, feelings, or patterns keep coming back—no matter what you do.

You might feel stuck in your own head, constantly overthinking or worrying.
Or disconnected—going through the motions but not really feeling much.
Maybe you’ve tried to ignore it, stay busy, or figure it out on your own—but nothing seems to actually fix it.
That’s not because you’re broken. It’s because the patterns driving it haven’t been fully understood or changed yet.
You’re not the only one this happens to—and it’s more fixable than you think.

This is exactly what we help you do.

Therapy that fits your life

Therapy shouldn’t add more stress to your day. Virtual sessions make it easier to show up consistently, stay comfortable, and focus on what actually matters—making progress. Clients prefer virtual once they try it.

What we help with

You don’t need to fit into a category—you just need help with what you’re going through. Here are some of the most common things we help people work through:

illustrated icon representing anxiety

Anxiety & Overthinking

You feel stuck in your own head—constantly thinking, worrying, or replaying things. It’s hard to relax, even when nothing is wrong.

illustrated icon representing trauma

Trauma & Emotional Triggers (EMDR Certified)

Past experiences still show up in the present—through anxiety, stress, or reactions that don’t fully make sense.

Feeling Down or Alone

You feel low, disconnected, or alone—even when you’re around others. It’s hard to feel motivated, and things that used to matter don’t feel the same anymore.

Feeling Disconnected or Numb

You’re going through the motions, but not really feeling much. Things that used to matter don’t feel the same anymore.

illustrated icon representing cultural and identity support

Repeating Patterns

You find yourself stuck in the same thoughts, reactions, or situations—even when you try to change them.

Relationships & Communication

You struggle to feel understood, heard, or connected—whether in relationships, family, or everyday interactions.

If one of these sounds like you, we can help you work through it.

What makes this different

Most people don’t need more advice—they need to understand what’s actually going on and how to change it. That’s what we focus on.

You understand what’s actually going on

You learn tools you can actually use

Each session gives you something practical you can apply in your real life—so you’re not just thinking about change, you’re actually making it.

Things finally start to click

Instead of repeating the same patterns, you begin to see them clearly—and learn how to change them in a way that actually lasts.

Our approach is grounded in proven methods like CBT, EMDR, and trauma-informed care.

Testimonials

You don’t have to take our word for it.

  • I have been under Dr. Saelee's care for a little over a year and she is absolutely wonderful to work with. She is very insightful, kind, and patient. She helps guide our sessions so that I can explore new areas and sources of my anxiety and depression on my own. She asks questions that have opened my eyes to so many things I haven't been able to recognize by myself. I highly recommend her and feel so lucky to have been able to use her services!

    Dr. Saelee has been a huge, positive force in my healing journey for the past half year. She’s helped me learn to understand myself in ways I hadn’t before, and it’s helped open my eyes to how I can better care for and nurture myself. You will not be disappointed if you decide to pursue therapy with Dr. Saelee!

    I highly recommend the folks at avid counseling. My counselor at Avid has taught me more skills for managing my emotions then all other previous counselors I've had combined. The skills I have learned help me identify triggers and deal with them in a healthy way. I am better now at managing my anxiety than ever before and learning to communicate and manage my anger as well. These folks are amazing.

Recently I had the privilege of working with Avid Counseling and not only did it exceeded my expectation but also managed to shatter the barriers surround mental health stigma especially in my culture. It has reshaped my familys' perspective on seeking support for mental well being. Thank you.

    Jason was very helpful in strengthening my marriage. He is personable and had lot of realistic feedback and suggestions on parenting. As a parent himself, Jason was understanding and relatable. I really appreciate his expertise and highly recommend him.

    I grew immensely in our time together. More so than any other therapist I've ever had. We parted ways months ago because of insurance issues and I'm currently shopping for new insurance so I can get back into sessions with Thaen. The time was invaluable.

  • Please consider the team of professionals at Avid Counseling for your counseling needs. My experience with Dr. Wilcox was overwhelmingly positive, and I would highly recommend him as a mental health expert.

    Can't thank Jason enough!! He brought me and my family out of such a dark and hopeless feeling time. He gave me the tools needed to fix many issues and my family is now thriving! If you're on the fence about starting therapy, don't hesitate. Book a session because things can and do get better and it'll change your life for the better.

    I could not possibly over stress what a life changing experience it was doing weekly therapy sessions with Dr Thaen over the last 9 months. I recently moved states and was heart broken to have to end my therapy sessions with Dr Thaen, but I feel so, so incredibly lucky to have had such a safe space to process through some of the most painful experiences of my life. She was unendingly patient, kind, empathetic and consistently offered her perspective with the framing of 'let me know if this connects with you', which made me feel so comfortable expressing if at times her read wasn't exactly on the mark. I felt so incredibly comfortable sharing experiences that I hadn't even voiced aloud to a single other human. I'm in such a better place in my life, and I can't help but express an incredible amount of gratitude for Dr. Thaen and her intuitive and inquisitive care. She met me with kindness at every turn and helped to unlock some of the unconscious patterns that had been a mystery to myself. I could not possibly recommend her more throughly!!
