How Alicia’s Approaches Work Online
Alicia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments. This approach is practical for issues like anxiety, sleep problems, and anger because it focuses on what to change in daily routines and thinking patterns.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions aligned with those values. ACT can be useful for coping with stress, depression, and life transitions by creating a clearer sense of purpose and direction.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alicia will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let you meet face to face for deeper conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide ongoing support between sessions and suit people who prefer writing or need frequent brief check-ins.
These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life while using the therapist’s approaches to manage anger, improve relationships, and build coping skills.
