How Alexis uses therapy methods online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. In practice this means sessions start with what feels most urgent to the client and the therapist reflects back concerns so goals are clear. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and uses short exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches skills for handling intense emotions and improving communication, which can help with relationship conflict and impulsive behaviors.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexis will talk with each person about what they want from therapy and try methods that fit their goals. Together they monitor what helps and adjust the plan as needed so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is helpful for fuller conversation and teaching skills with examples. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a conversation is needed without video. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between meetings, send short updates, or have a brief coaching-style exchange. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, commute, or busy family schedule.
