Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is practical and skills-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills - approaches that support intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and self-directed behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, non-confrontational method to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, particularly helpful with addictions and behavior change.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alice works collaboratively with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and circumstances, and then tailors techniques and pace to fit what will be most helpful. Clients and the therapist review progress together and adjust strategies as needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins can be done through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from different locations, and maintain continuity when life circumstances shift.
