How her approaches translate to online therapy
Alice uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice and calm unhelpful thoughts and bodily tension; mindfulness exercises can reduce reactivity and help with anxiety, stress, and sleep problems. Motivational interviewing is a conversational method that draws out a persons own reasons for change and strengthens commitment to goals like cutting back on substances or improving self-care. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps and on what is already working, which helps when someone wants quick, manageable change.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Alice will discuss options with each person and tailor methods to their goals and comfort. She often mixes techniques so work stays practical and focused on progress that matters to the client.
The practical benefits of online work can include easier scheduling around busy days, shorter check-ins when needed, and the ability to maintain momentum between in-person commitments.
