How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps that reflect those values. It teaches practical ways to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while still moving toward chosen goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing small changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapist's listening and support so clients can explore their concerns at their own pace.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexis will talk with each person about their needs and goals and recommend methods that fit those priorities. The plan can change over time as work progresses and priorities shift.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since current formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and keep short check-ins during a break at work. It can also allow using worksheets, home practice, and in-session exercises that translate well to virtual meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and client-centered methods to an online setting while helping clients stay focused on practical steps and daily routines.
