Evidence-Based Approaches, Made Accessible Online

Alyssa “Petersen” Domel integrates practical, relationship-aware approaches that can translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviors and trying out new skills to respond differently, which can be especially helpful for stress, anxiety, depression, and everyday coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes building tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, supporting clients who feel overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck in painful cycles. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationships shape expectations, boundaries, and connection, and it can be useful for relationship strain, abandonment concerns, and rebuilding a steadier sense of self.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alyssa works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand what has or has not helped before, and choose strategies that fit their preferences and pace. The focus can shift over time as needs change and new skills develop.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to stay consistent with support, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and access therapy from wherever a client is most comfortable.
