About Twila
Twila Quaid is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who guides people ready to make meaningful changes when stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, or shifts in life direction feel overwhelming.
Background and approach
With ten years of clinical experience, she works with adults facing a wide range of concerns including depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, bipolar mood concerns, sleep difficulties, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy within a holistic framework that considers personal, physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual dimensions. Twila uses goal setting, practical homework, and exploratory work to uncover unprocessed material that may be affecting day-to-day functioning and sense of purpose.
She emphasizes collaborative exploration to help clients reconnect with activities and values that once brought meaning. Clients can expect a warm but direct style that aims to clarify patterns, build coping strategies, and try new practices that support recovery and growth.
Twila frames therapy as a partnership focused on rediscovering joy and purpose while addressing immediate symptoms and longer-term life goals.
Approaches that guide online work and practical support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with practical strategies and experiments. It is useful for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, sleep disruption, and impulsivity by teaching concrete skills and homework-based practice.
Narrative Therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their lives, separating problems from identity so new meanings and choices can emerge. This approach is often helpful when life purpose, self-esteem, or longstanding patterns feel stuck and clients want to rewrite how they relate to their experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Twila collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds and practical concerns arise.
Online sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit consistent therapy into busy lives, try short check-ins or longer deep work, and maintain continuity when in-person visits are impractical.
