How her approaches work in online therapy

Alyssa often uses client-centered work to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person. That approach emphasizes listening and shaping the conversation around your priorities so sessions feel relevant and practical.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, and day-to-day habit changes by teaching specific techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alyssa will collaborate with each client to decide which strategies fit their goals and preferences and will adjust plans as needs change.
