About Alta
Alta Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD, and other life challenges. She writes and talks plainly, and she listens with patience. Her approach is steady and practical for someone who needs clear direction and calm support.
She brings 27 years of experience across hospital settings and independent practice. That history means she has guided people through medical-related concerns, end-of-life conversations, and complicated mental health issues.
Background and approach
Her background also includes work supporting caregivers, people coping with major life changes, and those managing mood or substance concerns. In sessions she uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person’s pace and priorities. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behavior.
Solution-Focused methods help set small, achievable goals to build momentum. Alta emphasizes practical skills such as sleep routines, stress management tools, and communication strategies. She also addresses lingering issues like guilt, shame, and body image with empathy.
Many people come for help with career strain, parenting stresses, or relationship tension. Her work often includes grief, hospice and end-of-life counseling, postpartum mood concerns, and compassion fatigue for caregivers. Alta aims to make therapy a place to talk, try coping tools, and plan next steps that fit daily life.
Approaches and how online therapy fits your life
Alta often combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to offer practical, compassionate help. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s pace, which supports people who need time to find words and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to try small changes that reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or ease low mood.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods make sense based on goals, daily demands, and personal preferences. Plans are adjusted over time as small goals are met or new challenges arise.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how therapy fits into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when a quick check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates, try short skills practice, or stay connected between longer sessions. These options make it easier to use therapy during caregiving, work shifts, or other time pressures.
