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 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.

  • Recently had a chance to work with Dr. Saelee and the session was great. She is very patient, understanding, and a great listener. She has helped my family and I through our tough time and helped us communicated our feelings and thoughts clearly. Thank you 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.

    In my almost 3 years of seeing Dr. Saelee, I can effectively say my life has transformed and blossomed into something I have never thought to be possible. I, initially, went to her to process the grief of my mom's passing, but what we were able to unearth and process throughout the scope of my life is what I will cherish the most. Her use of somatic healing, as well as her talk therapy methods, are unmatched. She has a welcoming and accepting nature that makes you feel safe to open up and really get down to the bottom of why you're in therapy in the first place. I will always sing her praises and would recommend her to anyone seeking therapy, and I have! Gift yourself the amazing opportunity to work with her, you will not regret it!

  • I worked with Dr. Saelee for a little over a year and she helped me in more ways than I could have ever imagined.. When I first started therapy I was scared and not sure what to expect, but she always had a safe space for me to share. She had a massive impact on helping me improve my well being. She helped me work through a lot of things I never thought I could do. Over a year later my life is so much better because of her. I'm grateful for everything she did for me. I can't recommend Dr. Saelee enough.

    I can't overstate how much growth and healing I experienced over 9 months of sessions with Dr. Thaen. This week marks a year since I moved states and had to leave her practice, but I still use the resources and tools she gave me daily. Her approach mixing EMDR, somatic practices, CBT, and nervous system regulation felt like a breakthrough for me after years of seeing primarily CBT/DBT-only therapists. Dr. Thaen welcomed feedback and provided space to reflect at the end of each session. She didn't hesitate to interrupt lines of thought or point out something she was noticing mid-session. It was often these gentle, but firm redirections that helped me build trust and be more vulnerable. Dr. Thaen is kind, straightforward, gentle, and clear. I would recommend her wholeheartedly.

    I just wrapped up therapy with Jason Wilcox, and I’m not ending because of insurance or scheduling. I’m ending because, for the first time in a long time, I’m genuinely in a good place. I still remember my first call when choosing between Jason and Saelee. If I’m remembering right, he said something like, “She’s joyful and upbeat. I’m a bit more serious.” And my chaotic self thought, “Perfect. I need someone who’ll tell me the hard truths.” But the funny part is… he never actually gave me the hard truths I thought I needed. Instead, he helped me understand why I believed I needed someone else to tell me what was “right.” Somewhere along the way, I stopped trusting my own inner voice…my own Jiminy Cricket and thought everyone else knew better than I did. He did something way better: he helped me hear myself again. He helped me challenge the old narrative that I didn’t matter. He helped me see the patterns without making me feel broken. He guided me toward truths I already had but didn’t trust. It was never harsh. It was clarity. And for the first time in years, I feel confident in who I am. I actually love and trust myself again. If you want a therapist who is real, grounded, thoughtful, and direct in a way that helps things click, Jason is an excellent choice. Fair warning though… I’m now dangerously self-aware, and that’s absolutely his fault.

  • I was fortunate to meet Dr. T during a very challenging time in my life. Our sessions were dynamic and thoughtfully tailored to meet me where I was at each stage of my journey. She was deeply mindful of every aspect of my being, including my lived experience, background, and how these intersected with both my mind and body. She provided me with the right tools at the right moments and took the time to truly get to know me, which ultimately helped me gain a deeper understanding of myself.

    Dr. T. Saelee is very professional and flexible with her schedule. She is understanding and non judgemental. She made clients feel comfortable and used plain vocabulary to make it easy to understand. Saelee also offers session virtually and in the language Mien. Highly recommend her.

    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.
