Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Alister uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and learn practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action - an approach often helpful for anxiety, depression, and patterns of avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore relational patterns and early connections that shape current intimacy, trust, and communication, making it useful for relationship concerns, attachment issues, and family-of-origin work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for managing stress, mood symptoms, and many day-to-day challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Alister collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time and combines elements from different approaches to create a personalized plan that feels manageable and relevant.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and engage in therapy from familiar environments while working toward practical, meaningful change.
