Background and approach

The tone in sessions is practical and supportive with an emphasis on skills you can use between meetings. Alissa often helps people who need support with school or work demands and those trying to improve communication with family members. She prefers a collaborative process and works with each person to set clear, achievable goals.

The pace and focus are adjusted to what the person needs at the time. Her background includes a decade of counseling experience and work with a range of everyday concerns. People can expect brief, focused plans and concrete tools for managing symptoms and moving toward their goals.

How her approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change feelings and behavior. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, doable steps that move someone toward their goals and is useful for short-term concerns like parenting challenges or career decisions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what works. Sessions often combine methods so the plan fits the person's needs, pace, and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, updates, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit counseling into work, school, or parenting schedules and to continue care during life changes.
