How Alexis integrates therapies for online sessions
Alexis uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and related behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and social fears because it focuses on clear practice and measurable steps.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach present-moment awareness and stress reduction strategies. Mindfulness can help with rumination, panic symptoms, and emotional regulation by offering simple exercises to use during the day.
Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about change. This method supports deciding on practical next steps and increasing commitment to those steps through collaborative conversation.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Alexis will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She adjusts the plan over time so the approach fits the client’s needs and daily life.
