Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Alysia Smith draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to support change in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and related behaviors, then practices practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve daily functioning. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused conversation style that strengthens a person’s own motivation to make changes, which can be especially useful for addressing addictions and ambivalence about change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Smith works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She tailors interventions over time so therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are delivered - clients can connect by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, accommodate different comfort levels with communication, and maintain continuity of care when schedules or circumstances change.
