Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care



Alesha Perkins uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, listening-focused environment where each person s experiences and goals guide the work. This approach helps clients feel heard and supported while exploring personal values, relationships, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often applied to concerns such as anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. Motivational Interviewing complements these methods by helping clients clarify their own motivations for change and build practical steps when facing ambivalence about recovery or behavior change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Perkins works collaboratively with clients to choose and adapt techniques based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance supports clients in building skills that fit their lives.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and for how people prefer to communicate. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, manage busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions.
