Approaches Allison Uses and How Online Therapy Works
Allison draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client's goals and experiences guide the work. This approach is helpful for building self-awareness, trust, and motivation for change. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. In addition, Allison is trained in EMDR, a trauma-focused approach that can support processing of distressing memories and reducing their emotional impact.Choosing the right approach is collaborative - Allison works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies as therapy progresses. Clients are invited to share feedback so the plan evolves together.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible. Licensed professionals can deliver effective therapeutic work through these modalities while focusing on accessibility and convenience.
