How her approaches translate to online care
Alexis uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. This approach can be useful for anxiety, grief, and decisions about substance use. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new habits that improve mood and sleep. CBT techniques are often used for social anxiety, low self-esteem, and managing anger.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexis will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily routines, then recommend tools and exercises that fit. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is helpful for in-depth conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in works better. Live chat and text messaging allow for frequent, brief support and quick problem solving between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for people juggling work, caregiving, or travel.
