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.

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

We help you make sense of what you’re feeling and why it keeps happening—so you’re not stuck guessing or going in circles.

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.

    I would highly recommend Avid Counseling if you are in search for a counselor. I worked with Thaen Saelee and she was absolutely amazing. As someone who was new to counseling and was very nervous Thaen made the sessions personable and enjoyable right from the start. I will forever be thankful for Thaen for all she has helped me through!

    Dr.Saelee is a wonderful practitioner who has challenged me in many ways over the past 9 months. She's been someone who I've recommended to friends, and trust to always bring her best self to our sessions. She's always open to adjusting her working style to suit my needs, brings different modalities to our sessions to find what works best, and is constantly improving her work through her continued education in her field (not to mention that she's a published author!). I would recommend her to anyone and has been a force of change in my life.

  • I worked with both Thaen and Jason at Avid Counseling. With Thaen, I was pursuing EMDR which was surprisingly easy through virtual counseling. She is incredibly thoughtful, clearly pays close attention her clients, and very easy to work with. I really appreciated Jason's motivational parenting approach and saw very fast results in how I engage with and ensure they have a supported and bonded relationship as they grow. Highly recommend working with either of these therapists.

    Jason was a fantastic therapist that really helped show me how I can help myself. To have a therapist that asked questions rather than tell you how to feel was amazing. He helped me learn how my kids brains were growing and learning the emotional sides, and even helped me through my divorce. All around an absolute awesome guy and a great business.

  • Dr. Saelee has been so helpful in my therapy journey! Her style working through EMDR and somatic techniques has been really impactful. I really appreciate her asking guiding and validating questions that help me better understand how and why I'm feeling what I feel.

    This review is for anyone struggling with life's challenges and feeling hesitant to share their feelings with a therapist. I was once in that position, but reaching out to Avid Counseling was one of the best decisions I ever made. I was deeply troubled, and my anxiety was overwhelming. Jason Wilcox immediately put me at ease, providing a safe and supportive environment to explore the source of my emotions. I've gained valuable self-awareness and practical tools to support my continued personal growth. I'm proud of myself for taking that step, and I hope this review encourages others seeking help. You're already on the right path.
