About Ali

Ali Levesque is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Montana who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, addictions, relationship and family challenges, and related issues. Ali uses clear, straightforward talk to help people feel steadier and more able to cope. Sessions focus on practical skills, coping strategies, and small changes that add up over time.

The tone is warm and respectful and aims to make hard conversations feel manageable.

Background and approach

Ali earned dual master’s degrees in psychology and music and holds the LCPC credential. With five years of clinical experience, Ali blends hands-on skills training with thoughtful listening. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness are common tools in sessions, used to spot unhelpful thoughts and practice calm, present-moment responses.

Therapy follows a client-centered approach, which means the person’s values and goals guide the work. Ali creates space for people to describe what’s most pressing and then tailors strategies to fit daily life. Motivational Interviewing and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques may be added when exploring behavior change or emotion regulation.

Practical concerns like sleep, eating, anger, and self-esteem are addressed directly. Ali also supports people managing career stress, grief, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue. The aim is to leave sessions with clear next steps and tools that can be used between appointments.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. The approach emphasizes collaboration, steady progress, and adapting methods to each person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and values. The therapist listens closely and helps the client set goals that feel meaningful. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, respectful space to work through hard choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions teach skills to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and stress management.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple awareness exercises. It helps with emotional regulation, stress, and grounding after distressing experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend methods that match those needs. Work is collaborative and can shift over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when screens are difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging can support check-ins between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on real-world skills and steady progress.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
