Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care
Alecia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify what matters most to them and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes.Client-Centered Therapy is central to her work - it emphasizes an empathic, collaborative relationship where the therapist supports the client's own insights and growth. This approach can strengthen self-esteem, improve communication, and aid in processing grief or relational concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress. CBT is effective for addressing anxiety, mood symptoms, and habit-related issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Alecia works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals aim to match techniques to what best supports each client's priorities.
Online therapy brings flexibility and accessibility - sessions can occur via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients to receive consistent, goal-focused care in formats that fit their schedules, mobility, and comfort levels.
