How her approaches work online
Alexa blends Narrative Therapy with Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches to help people untangle their life stories and build new ways of relating. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories a person tells about themselves and helps rewrite those stories so they support healthier choices. Attachment-Based work examines relationship patterns that originate in early bonds and helps people notice and change how they connect today. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace, with the therapist following the client’s lead and offering empathy and reflection.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work itself. She will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation can start in an early session and evolve as progress is made, so therapy stays practical and personalized.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skill coaching and emotional check-ins. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work for brief check-ins, tracking homework, or getting support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or parenting schedules while working with a licensed professional.
