Approaches and Online Therapy That Fit Your Needs
Alison integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a warm, accepting space where the therapist listens deeply and supports the client in finding their own solutions - it is often helpful for building self-esteem and processing difficult emotions. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a practical, goal-oriented approach that helps identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and develop skills to manage anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Alison works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions over time, combining techniques where appropriate and checking in regularly to ensure the work feels relevant and effective.
Online therapy with Alison uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reach people who are far away, and maintain continuity of care even when schedules change. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to support meaningful progress in a way that suits each client.
