Evidence-Based Therapies for Online Support

Alissa integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship and helps people explore their feelings and values so they can move toward change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, works by identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replacing them with more adaptive thinking and behavior to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and interpersonal challenges.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Alissa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity of care during transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations, while still receiving structured, evidence-based support.
