Therapeutic approaches and online care with Alexis James
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions by teaching acceptance skills alongside practical steps toward meaningful goals.)Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building concrete skills to change those thoughts and the behaviors they drive. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, compulsions, and other mood-related concerns.
Client-Centered Therapy creates a supportive, empathetic environment where the person’s own experiences and goals guide the work. This strengths-based approach can help with self-esteem, relationships, life purpose, and exploring personal values.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapy process. Alexis collaborates with each person to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time as progress and circumstances evolve.
Online therapy provides practical flexibility and accessibility. Clients may meet with licensed professionals by video call or phone, use live chat for real-time conversations, or exchange messages via text-based or in-app messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care from different locations.
