Approaches that guide online sessions

Alicia uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear skills and practical change. One common approach is cognitive-behavioral style work, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. It teaches concrete skills for day-to-day coping.

She also uses problem-solving and behavioral activation strategies to address low mood and life transitions. These techniques help clients break tasks into manageable steps, build routines, and increase activities that bring a sense of progress and purpose. For stress and compassion fatigue, she applies pacing and coping skills to manage overwhelm.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, what has and hasn’t worked, and then tailor methods to fit those needs and preferences. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps the client make steady progress.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage childcare or work constraints, and stay connected between sessions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver focused, structured care and to follow up on goals between appointments.
