Online support
Attachment work and evidence-based approaches online
Alicia commonly integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns; this work helps people understand connection, trust, and closeness in their adult relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, identify personal values, and take meaningful steps even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and practicing new skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alicia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so work in sessions connects to daily life. Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues during deeper conversations, phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and stay connected from different locations.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
