Approaches that translate to online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learn practical strategies to change them - it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation - it can be helpful for stress, rumination, and strengthening self-compassion. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences while building coping skills and safety - it supports recovery from post-traumatic stress and abuse-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alexis works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as progress and circumstances evolve. That collaborative process helps ensure treatment feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients to access licensed professionals from home or on the go. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain momentum between sessions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
