Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Support
Alexa integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and take committed action toward a more meaningful life. ACT works well for chronic stress, anxiety, and situations where finding motivation or direction feels difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - it helps people understand trust, intimacy, and communication challenges and supports rebuilding more secure connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Alexa collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adapt techniques and pacing so treatment feels relevant and achievable.
Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care when life changes. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide consistent, focused therapeutic work tailored to each client.
