Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy

Alicia commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply and following the client's lead, helping people feel heard and supported as they explore values, goals, and personal strengths. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, processing life changes, and improving relationships.

CBT offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood management by teaching skills for problem solving and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alicia collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and tailors methods over time so therapy fits the individual. This collaborative process helps determine whether techniques should focus more on insight, skills, or a combination of both.

Online therapy with Alicia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible ways to engage. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions.
