Approaches and the benefits of online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, offering empathetic listening and support to help build self-esteem, manage anxiety, and navigate life transitions. It focuses on understanding the individual's perspective and fostering self-directed growth.
Solution-Focused Therapy is a short-term, goal-oriented approach that helps clients identify practical steps and small changes that produce measurable progress. It works well for stress, relationship concerns, career decisions, and situations where clients want clear, achievable outcomes.
Internal Family Systems helps people explore the different parts of themselves - for example protective, wounded, or angry parts - and to develop a more compassionate internal relationship. This approach can be useful for trauma, attachment challenges, and persistent feelings of shame or emptiness.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alison and a client work together to decide which methods fit best with the client’s goals, needs, and comfort level, and she adapts sessions as those needs change over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access support around work, family, and mobility constraints. For many people, these options increase consistency and convenience while still allowing therapists and registered professionals to work closely with clients toward clear goals.
