Approaches that translate well to online therapy

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing different responses. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems that feel stuck because of negative thinking patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It helps when worries feel overwhelming or when someone wants to respond more calmly to stress. Motivational Interviewing is a short, conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change and build motivation for goals like improving mood, adjusting habits, or coping with life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Alison collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs and goals. She often combines elements from different approaches and checks in regularly to adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and written reminders of strategies. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy or changing schedules.
