Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Alice integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered ways of working. ACT helps clients clarify their values and develop practical skills for accepting difficult feelings while taking meaningful action - it can be useful for issues like anxiety, compulsive behaviors, and patterns that limit life choices. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early caregiving and relationship experiences shape current bonds and emotional responses - it is helpful when relationship patterns, abandonment concerns, or attachment issues are central to a person’s difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist follows the client’s pace and perspective to help build insight and self-directed change.Finding the right approach is part of therapy, and Alice works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She discusses options openly and adapts the work as understanding grows so the plan feels personally relevant and achievable.
Online therapy with Alice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to access consistent support from registered professionals without needing to travel, which can help people maintain momentum and fit therapeutic work into busy or complex lives.
