Remote therapy options

Alex uses a blend of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Internal Family Systems when working remotely, selecting techniques that match the needs named by each person or family. Client-Centered Therapy provides a collaborative space where the client’s priorities shape the conversation, with the therapist listening and reflecting to support clearer self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers practical tools to identify and adjust unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior, which can be practiced between sessions. Internal Family Systems is used when exploring internal parts and family-of-origin dynamics feels relevant; this approach helps map internal roles and interactions rather than relying solely on symptom-based strategies. Alex describes these approaches in accessible terms and adapts them to a client’s readiness for skills work, reflective inquiry, or system-level exploration. Remote sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the communication mode that fits their needs and schedule. When starting remotely, Alex collaborates with clients to decide which methods to prioritize and how to structure sessions so that the chosen approach aligns with their goals and daily life.
