How her approaches translate to online therapy
Alecia uses Client-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in ways that fit online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. CBT offers practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, useful for anxiety, sleep issues, and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to see which methods match their goals and preferences. That means trying a skill, checking how it felt, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to a single label from the start.

Online work can make attending appointments easier to fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also helps people practice skills between sessions in their usual routines while discussing progress with a licensed professional.
