Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work
Alicia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions aligned with their values. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and struggles with motivation.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. That work focuses on emotional connection, safety in relationships, and understanding repeated dynamics that show up in dating or close relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alicia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on what helps most.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. In general, online therapy can make scheduling easier by reducing travel and allowing sessions to fit into busy days. Some formats may work better for brief check-ins, less bandwidth, or when someone prefers not to be on camera, while others suit deeper, interactive work. Licensed professionals aim to match format to the client’s needs so therapy can fit into everyday life.
