How Alexis’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-centered therapy centers the person and their priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, follows what matters to the client, and adjusts the pace and focus to fit each session. This approach helps when someone needs a space to make sense of feelings and plan next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to identify unhelpful thinking and try alternative responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and problem-solving everyday challenges.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It emphasizes distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and communication skills that can reduce reactivity and improve relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for interactive skill work and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow for flexible, written check-ins between sessions and can fit into busy schedules. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and at times that work for everyday life.
