Background and approach
Aleta often helps clients work through trauma, relationship challenges, workplace stress, and feelings of isolation. Her approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy among other methods. That means she helps people notice thinking patterns, try small behavioral changes, and learn strategies for emotional regulation.
Mindfulness and emotionally focused techniques are also part of her toolkit for managing strong emotions and improving connection in relationships. Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk about what matters most right now. Aleta supports people in developing self-compassion and practical routines that reduce overwhelm.
She also addresses related issues such as addiction, anger, parenting concerns, and career stress. Over her career she has worked with a wide range of life concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and blended family challenges. Her work aims to build resilience so people can manage daily demands and move toward more satisfying relationships and routines.
How Aleta blends methods for online care
Aleta uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people manage anxiety and stress. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress, which can help with panic, worry, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily life.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal communication. These tools are practical and aimed at helping people handle intense feelings and improve relationships. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and skills coaching. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging make it easier to fit support into a busy day and to follow up between sessions. These formats offer flexibility so people can find what works best for their schedule and daily life.
