About Zhenique
Zhenique Israelian is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 16 years of clinical experience, practicing in New Hampshire. She works with people struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She also offers coaching for practical goals.
Zhenique asks clients to name what feels most urgent and then helps them notice patterns that keep problems repeating. She treats issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, control struggles, and challenges around divorce and separation. Her approach aims to make strong feelings easier to understand and act on.
Her work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how emotions and close relationships shape reactions. She also uses Client-Centered principles to follow the client's lead and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for concrete coping tools. Sessions typically mix feeling-focused conversation with practical strategies for change.
Zhenique encourages clients to recognise strengths they already have and to practice small, consistent steps between sessions. She helps people name guilt, shame, impulsivity, or isolation and then try different responses in daily life. Financial and life-purpose concerns are part of the conversations when relevant.
She practises in New Hampshire and works in English. To begin, readers are invited to use the site process to match and schedule a first session, where they can outline goals and decide on next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and track strong emotions and see how those feelings shape relationships and choices. It is useful when patterns of reactivity or disconnection are the main problem.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect stress responses and closeness. This approach is helpful for people who want to understand why certain interactions trigger fear or withdrawal. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, giving space for their priorities to guide sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit the person's needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining emotion-focused work with skills from CBT or DBT when a client wants concrete tools as well as deeper emotional understanding.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use video or phone options depending on bandwidth and comfort. Practical considerations like quieter surroundings, camera use, and session length can be arranged to match daily life.
