01About Alta
Alta Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people facing everyday and major life stresses. She speaks plainly, listens carefully, and aims to create a steady place to talk through worries about anxiety, grief, relationships, mood, addiction, and parenting concerns. She brings 27 years of experience in mental health settings, including hospital work and independent practice in Michigan.
Alta uses a down-to-earth approach that centers the person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to what the person wants to change or understand. Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead and build trust. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems alive.
Solution-Focused Therapy helps people spot small, useful steps they can take right away. Alta often helps people manage stress, cope with grief, navigate relationship and intimacy issues, and address sleep or eating worries. She also supports those dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and career or caregiving strains.
Her practice includes topics like life transitions, self-esteem, and end-of-life concerns. Sessions emphasize practical tools and steady support. People who prefer a calm, listening therapist who also offers concrete techniques may find her approach helpful.
Alta works with each person to set clear goals and track progress over time.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Alta uses Client-Centered Therapy to build rapport and follow what each person brings to a session. That means the therapist listens, reflects, and helps the person find their own solutions when dealing with stress, grief, relationship concerns, or life transitions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and try different, practical strategies. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and coping with change by teaching concrete tools to test new ways of thinking and acting.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Alta will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt sessions over time. This is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted to fit the person's needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is best when visual cues help the conversation, phone works well for lower bandwidth or when being on camera is difficult, and chat or text can be a shorter check-in or a way to communicate between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or mobility limits while still using the approaches described above.
