Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Alicia uses client-centered work that focuses on what matters most to the person. That means conversations center on the client's goals and values, and sessions move at a pace that feels right for them. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which targets unhelpful thoughts and habits and is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger by teaching concrete skills to test and change behavior.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She will talk with each person about their life, goals, and preferences and then try techniques that fit. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and emotion work. Phone sessions can fit a tight schedule or lower bandwidth needs. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, share short updates, or do brief coaching-style exchanges. These options offer flexibility for people juggling work, family, or variable routines, while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
