How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Alicia uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach can help with relationship strain, intimacy issues, and attachment concerns by identifying patterns and building new ways of relating.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and practical coping with life changes. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when strong emotions or conflict arise.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Alicia will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That collaboration shapes the plan and the skills emphasized in sessions.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break, avoiding travel time, or choosing audio if video feels difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote sessions while helping people practice skills between meetings.
