How her approaches translate to online therapy

Alesia often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. This approach helps people name what matters most and shape sessions around personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is another main tool she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice different behaviors; it works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by giving concrete exercises and homework.

She also integrates EMDR for trauma-related issues when appropriate, using structured processing to help reprocess painful memories and reduce their hold on daily life. Choosing which method to use is a collaborative decision. Alesia will work with each person to decide what fits their needs, goals, and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and more in-depth conversation, phone can be a simpler option with less bandwidth, chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or other commitments while keeping the focus on practical steps and progress.
