Therapeutic approaches and online care
Alyssa draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as central approaches in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values, learn to accept difficult emotions, and commit to actions that align with what matters most - it is often useful for anxiety, avoidance, and work on meaning and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to change them, which can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alyssa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy makes it easier to access regular support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer greater flexibility around scheduling and location, helping clients fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide consistent, skill-focused work that aligns with each client's practical needs.
