Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Alicia uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and taking action that matches personal values. ACT can be helpful for coping with chronic worry, life transitions, and motivation struggles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alicia will talk with the client about goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process can include mixing techniques from different approaches to fit real-life needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and reading cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat or text messaging can fit into a busy day and allow brief updates or real-time support between longer sessions.
