Approaches that translate well to online work
Allison commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her remote practice. ACT focuses on helping people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values, which can help with anxiety and life transitions. CBT breaks worries and behaviors into parts so people can test thoughts and try new routines to reduce panic and low mood.She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness techniques, offering a respectful, listening-first stance and simple exercises to increase present-moment awareness. Finding the best mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Allison works with each person to set goals and then adjusts methods based on what feels most helpful for their needs, priorities, and comfort with different tools.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits quick check-ins or shorter reflections between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work consistently over time.
