Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Dr. Alexa Wasserman integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practices into her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship and helps people explore feelings and values so they can find their own solutions and build self-understanding. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to manage symptoms and improve everyday functioning. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and awareness practices that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation when clients are ready to try them.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Dr. Wasserman works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure that therapy fits the person rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for those seeking care from licensed professionals - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing greater flexibility around work, family, and travel constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access therapy in ways that suit each client’s schedule and communication style.
