How sessions work
How Alexis uses ACT, CBT, and solution-focused work online
Alexis frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on chosen values. ACT often involves learning simple exercises to reduce struggle with difficult emotions and refocus on meaningful action.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT sessions typically include testing beliefs, practicing new skills, and setting small behavior experiments between meetings.
Solution-Focused Therapy appears when clients want short-term work with clear steps. That approach emphasizes what is already working and builds on small changes that can be scaled into daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Alexis will help you figure out which methods fit your needs, goals, and preferences. She treats treatment planning as a collaborative process and adjusts strategies as progress is made.
