Integrative therapeutic approaches and online care
Alison integrates several evidence-informed approaches to meet each person where they are. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward a meaningful life - it is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships that develop from early experiences and helps people understand and reshape how they relate to others, which can be useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, and issues tied to abandonment. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaboration so clients can explore their own solutions and build confidence in their choices.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alison works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the work as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists use these approaches flexibly to respond to each person.
Online therapy with Alison is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and for people who live at a distance. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity of care, and fit therapy into everyday life.
