Therapeutic approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and committing to actions that reflect personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, sleep issues, and mood concerns. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to make changes but feel unsure or stuck by exploring ambivalence and strengthening motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Alexis will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may mix approaches and can change over time as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time so therapy fits around work or family obligations. Therapists use tools to help practice skills between sessions and track small changes over time, which can be especially helpful when addressing issues like stress, addictions, or jealousy.
