Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Alexis combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to make online work feel grounded and practical. Client-centered work focuses on understanding each person’s experience and priorities, helping conversations stay relevant to what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build concrete skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress.She also uses Motivational Interviewing when people feel stuck or unsure about change. That approach uses warm, nonjudgmental questioning to clarify values and small next steps. Together these methods help shape collaborative plans that clients can test between sessions and adjust over time.
Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited transportation. Video calls let therapists see facial cues and work through exercises in real time. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break. Live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins, quick skill reminders, or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain momentum while trying out new strategies in daily life.
