Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Alis integrates evidence-informed methods to address emotional and relational challenges in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify personal values and take meaningful action - it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning skills to change behaviors and mood, which can be effective for depression, anxiety, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience by offering empathic listening and nonjudgmental support to help people explore feelings and find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alis works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as the work evolves. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and doable.
Online sessions offer practical benefits - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time, and can make it easier to maintain continuity during life changes. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver tailored care in ways that fit a client's daily routine and responsibilities.
