Ms Reem Qaqish

Therapist / Counselor (Qualifying)

“My goal is to help individuals fill their toolbox with healthy distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and coping skills needed to overcome life's challenges.”

About Me

I aim to help you build a robust set of skills for life's challenges. We can explore practical strategies together, learning to manage difficult emotions and tolerate distress. My approach focuses on equipping you with concrete techniques you can use immediately. This fosters a sense of control and resilience. If you feel overwhelmed or seek effective ways to handle stress, this space is for you. We will find healthier ways forward.

Approach

I guide sessions toward practical, hands-on skill-building that helps you tolerate difficult moments and steady your emotions so challenges feel more manageable. In my Burbank office or online, we work at a steady, collaborative pace: short experiments in session, focused practice between meetings, and regular check-ins to shape what’s most useful. I use structured tools—thought reframing, activity planning, grounding practices—and tailor each step to your transitions, relationships, grief, or burnout. Those facing change or overwhelm often find this practical, supportive rhythm helps them regain footing.
