Online session options
How narrative and practical methods work online
Alissa uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice the stories they tell about their lives and test new, more helpful ways of understanding their problems. Narrative work is useful for concerns like identity, family roles, and feelings of emptiness. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful space where a person's goals guide the work, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to teach concrete skills for changing thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Alissa talks with each person about their goals and tries different techniques to see what fits. She adjusts methods over time so the work stays practical and relevant to daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people work face-to-face when that helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, coping ideas between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
