Alta Davis, LPC

Alta Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing grief, anxiety, depression, stress, and big life changes. She speaks plainly and listens closely so clients can say what matters. Her approach is calm and practical, aimed at small steps that add up over time.

With 27 years of experience, she has worked in hospital settings and in private practice. Alta draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also uses client-centered listening to let people feel heard and understood.

Alta helps clients build coping skills for sleep problems, anger, addictions, and changes that come with caregiving or aging. She supports people coping with relationship strain, parenting pressures, and concerns about body image or self-esteem. Topics such as trauma, postpartum depression, and end-of-life issues are also within her focus areas.

Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. Clients commonly work on manageable goals, practice new skills between meetings, and track small wins. Alta combines short-term problem solving with deeper, client-led conversations when those are needed.

She works in English and serves people located in Michigan. Session options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Cost varies with location and the subscription plan, which can be canceled at any time.

To begin, choose the Start Therapy button, fill out a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that fits your needs. Alta will help decide next steps based on each person’s goals and situation.

How CBT and Client-Centered Care Translate Online

Alta commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT sessions focus on specific patterns and practical exercises that people can use between meetings to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change sleep and eating habits.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and building a respectful, empathetic relationship. That approach helps when someone needs a calm space to sort feelings about grief, relationship strain, or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alta will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting strategies as needs change. The process is a partnership where the therapist and client decide what to try next.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversations. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a workday. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, reflection, or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options let people keep up with therapy during busy schedules or while managing caregiving and other responsibilities.
