Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Allyson draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered techniques to support people in an online format. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values, build psychological flexibility, and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and sleep difficulties. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration, creating a supportive environment where clients feel heard and can explore relationship and family concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Allyson works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may incorporate elements from multiple approaches so treatment is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy with Allyson offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, to continue work during life changes, and to connect from different locations while maintaining regular contact and continuity of care.
