How Alexis applies CBT and related approaches online
Alexis commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. CBT sessions often involve brief skill practice, thought tracking, and setting concrete between-session tasks to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Client-Centered Therapy guides how she listens and responds, emphasizing the client’s priorities and experience rather than imposing a fixed plan.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Alexis will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. That means checking how exercises feel, adjusting homework, and mixing techniques based on progress.
