Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support



Alison commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating a supportive, empathetic space where the client leads the pace and topics of conversation. This approach helps people who need understanding and acceptance as they explore personal goals and emotional challenges.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT can be useful for managing anxiety, changing negative self-beliefs, and developing coping strategies for everyday stressors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Alison treats this as a collaborative process. She will work with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may adapt techniques over time to find the best match.

Online therapy with Alison is delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from a registered professional without the need to travel, helping clients maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
