About Merita

LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) in New York with nine years of clinical experience, Merita Gashi senka helps people address family and parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, addictive behaviors, relationship issues, bipolar disorder, life transitions, coaching goals, and ADHD. She works directly with individual adults to talk through problems and build practical coping steps. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

Her work focuses on clear, actionable conversations. She listens to what is happening now, identifies pressing concerns, and collaborates on simple skills to reduce distress. Merita adapts her approach to the person she is meeting rather than following a fixed script.

Over nine years she has supported people facing family-of-origin problems, communication breakdowns, control and impulse issues, guilt and shame, and disruptive mood patterns. She has worked with concerns that include mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, antisocial and dependent personality features, and the effects of domestic violence.

Therapy sessions mix discussion and practical tasks. Clients can expect guided problem-solving, strategies for managing strong emotions, and work on decision-making and behavior change. When coaching goals are raised, sessions include focused steps to increase motivation and follow-through.

To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques aim to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured conversation and guided practice. One common approach focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or low mood and testing alternative, more balanced thoughts. This helps with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Another useful technique targets behavior and routine. It breaks goals into small steps, builds consistent habits, and uses repeated practice to reduce impulsivity or compulsive actions. This method can help with ADHD, addictions, and mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to select which methods suit their situation, goals, and preferences. That choice may change over time as progress is reviewed.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments during work breaks or when travel is difficult. Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm the available options before booking to be sure they meet your needs.
