About Twila
Twila Quaid is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with ten years of clinical experience based in New York. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, mood concerns, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting strains, and trauma and abuse. Sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy and include goal setting and homework when appropriate.
Twila encourages straightforward conversations about what is causing distress. She asks specific questions, identifies patterns that maintain problems, and suggests concrete steps to try between sessions. Clients can expect practical strategies alongside storytelling techniques to make sense of life changes and recurring difficulties.
Her work addresses impulsivity, questions of life purpose, seasonal affective disorder, and issues commonly reported by women. She also helps people handle compassion fatigue and the challenges of change. Sessions often focus on small, measurable actions and on reframing unhelpful beliefs.
Twila uses short-term skill work when that fits a person's goals, and she also supports longer exploration when needed. She often combines thought-and-behavior techniques from CBT with Narrative Therapy methods that examine the stories people tell about themselves. This blend is meant to help people change unhelpful patterns and reclaim interests they stopped doing.

How CBT and Narrative Work Translate to Online Sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors. In practice that looks like tracking moods, trying small behavioral experiments, and reviewing what changed. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and impulsivity.Narrative Therapy examines the stories people tell about themselves and their lives. Sessions involve mapping those stories, noticing dominant themes, and exploring alternative narratives that open up new choices. This approach helps with grief, life purpose questions, and issues tied to identity or relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide whether CBT, narrative techniques, or a mix fits best based on goals and preferences. Goals and homework are revisited together so methods can be adjusted.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and let people use written or audio notes between meetings. These practical benefits help therapy fit day-to-day life without committing to a single style of working.
