Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides skills for managing strong emotions and improving interactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports choosing actions that match personal values even when feelings are difficult.

Sessions can be arranged through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules. Fees vary by location and follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Alyce holds the credential LCSW, CSW with license number GA LCSW CSW003801.

She offers services in English and does not take international clients. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to availability.

Therapy approaches and how online sessions work

Alyce commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action even when emotions are difficult, which can help with grief, life transitions, and ongoing distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alyce will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Sessions may be held by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins can happen via live chat or text-based messaging. This variety makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity through life changes, and use tools between sessions to practice new skills.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
