About Reshma
Reshma Antony is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Washington. She has four years of clinical experience and helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and bipolar disorder. She communicates in English and Malayalam.
Her approach is straightforward and down-to-earth. She focuses on building an open space where people can talk about upsetting thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions are aimed at making everyday life more manageable, with practical steps and clear goals.
Background and approach
Reshma pays attention to how attachment, abandonment, and communication patterns affect relationships. She also supports people dealing with body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and the strain of blended family situations. When safety or past harm are part of the story, she addresses those experiences at a pace the person feels ready for.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on mood regulation, dissociation, and disruptive emotional reactions. Clients work together with Reshma to develop tools for handling panic, low mood, or emotional overwhelm. She also assists with decision points like separation, divorce, or setting boundaries after domestic violence.
People who choose Reshma often want a practical and calm presence. She helps break big problems into small, workable steps. That way progress can be seen between sessions and adjusted as needs change.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Reshma uses common evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One technique focuses on practical skills for managing anxiety and mood swings, teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step coping plans that can reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach targets relationship and attachment concerns by identifying communication patterns and practicing new ways to set boundaries and express needs. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, pace, and preferences, and will adjust strategies as progress is made. Online therapy here is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that feels useful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Messaging and live chat provide short, flexible ways to check in between longer sessions or to get support when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other daily demands.Frequently asked questions
