Therapeutic approaches for online care

Alicia commonly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values and taking committed action toward them; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns in connection and intimacy, and it supports improving communication, boundaries, and trust in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to develop practical coping skills for depression, anxiety, and everyday challenges.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Alicia collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She works with clients to adapt techniques and set priorities so therapy feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations. These formats can support consistent progress while allowing therapists and clients to find the rhythm and style of communication that works best for them.
