She earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Colorado Colorado Springs in 2018, with a focused emphasis on addiction.

That breadth of experience informs a flexible, down-to-earth style that prioritizes a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult issues.

Her clinical orientation is strongly person-centered and existential, and she integrates solution-focused strategies with mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Additional tools in her practice include motivational interviewing, reality therapy, trauma-focused methods, and EMDR training to address trauma-related concerns. She aims to be relatable, honest, and compassionate while also gently challenging clients to tolerate discomfort as part of growth.

Committed to meeting people where they are, Ewa works alongside clients to process thoughts and feelings, navigate obstacles, and cultivate the skills needed to move toward meaningful change and a more fulfilling life.

How Ewa's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding each person’s unique experience and building a warm, accepting relationship so clients feel heard and supported; it can be especially helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship struggles, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, offering concrete strategies and skills that translate well to remote sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be valuable for managing intense emotions, coping with crisis moments, and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ewa collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She blends elements from different approaches to create a personalized plan and involves clients in decisions about pace and focus.

Online therapy with Ewa can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to access licensed professionals and therapists from home, during travel, or between obligations, while maintaining continuity of care and practical support for ongoing change.
