How Cognitive and Practical Approaches Work Online
Alicia integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into her online work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts, testing alternative ideas, and practicing small behavior changes that reduce anxiety or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, reflecting what matters to the person, and supporting the client to set their own goals.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach attention skills that help reduce rumination and increase present-moment awareness. Mindfulness exercises are short and can be practiced between sessions to reinforce what was learned in therapy.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Alicia works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals and preferences, adjusting the plan if something is not helpful. The therapist will check in on what is working and on progress toward concrete goals.
