Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Alice uses mindfulness therapy to help clients become more aware of their present-moment experience and to reduce reactivity to stress. This approach can be useful for anxiety, stress management, and supporting emotional regulation in the face of life changes.

She also employs motivational interviewing, a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people clarify their personal motivations and strengthen commitment to change. This technique is often helpful for addictive behaviors, lifestyle shifts, and building momentum toward recovery or healthier routines.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Alice partners with each person to identify which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for clients who need flexibility. Sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
