Remote sessions and clinical approach
Alison "Cindy" Lapidus offers online care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options are intended to allow for regular contact and flexibility in how people prefer to communicate while working on stress, relationship concerns, identity questions, and life changes.
She commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to each person’s perspective, following their pace, and shaping the work around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and introduces practical techniques to reduce distress and move toward specific goals.
For relationship-focused work she draws on the Gottman Method to address communication and interaction patterns. Sessions are collaborative: the therapist and client set priorities together, track progress, and adjust strategies as needed. Remote formats include video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing flexibility in how therapeutic conversations take place.
