How Allison’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. Online sessions give space to tell your story and have the therapist reflect what matters most to you, so goals emerge from your priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical steps to change thoughts and behaviors. In online work CBT often includes setting clear goals, practicing small behavior changes between sessions, and reviewing progress together during video or phone meetings.
The Gottman Method offers tools for improving communication and reducing conflict in close relationships. When used online it can guide couples or partners through exercises, teach new conversation habits, and build better patterns over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Allison will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts tools and pacing as progress is made and priorities change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone calls can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging supports short check-ins or ongoing support without scheduling a full session. These options help people stay consistent and keep therapy manageable around daily life.
