How Alice Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Alice commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her online work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. DBT emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress.Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, needs, and preferences and then try methods that seem likely to help. Plans are adjusted over time based on what the client finds helpful and what fits their day-to-day life.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping continuity when in-person visits are difficult. Alice offers evening video and phone appointments, with messaging and live chat available in the morning and afternoon and other open times. Because formats can change, confirm the current session options before booking so arrangements match what will work best for daily routines.
