About Zhenique
Zhenique Israelian is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in New Hampshire with 16 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, drops in motivation, low self-esteem, and transitions in life. Zhenique names life purpose among her areas of focus and helps people who are wondering what comes next after big changes.
In sessions she treats clients as the experts on their own stories. She listens for strengths and uses them to tackle whatever feels blocking or painful right now. Conversations are direct and practical, aimed at making small shifts that add up over time.
Zhenique draws from approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered practice, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and emotionally focused methods. She mixes these tools to match what each person needs rather than following a single formula. Expect a focus on skills you can use between sessions as well as talking through patterns that keep recurring.
People often bring concerns like abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, control issues, separation and divorce, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, money worries, midlife questions, and mood problems. Zhenique helps unpack these themes so clients can make clearer choices about next steps.
Practical steps are part of the work. Sessions include goal setting, emotion regulation techniques, and behavioral experiments when helpful. She encourages clients to try changes between appointments and report back on what worked.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and patterns that developed early in life. It looks at how those patterns show up now and helps people build different ways of relating to themselves and others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, links thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and reducing impulsive reactions.Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together choose which methods to try. That collaborative stance means sessions can change over time as different techniques become more or less useful.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not detailed here. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to continue work through life changes or when arranging in-person visits is difficult. The therapist will discuss practical scheduling and format choices so sessions align with everyday life and therapeutic goals.
