BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Alice commonly uses Mindfulness Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, and she integrates solution-focused strategies into short-term planning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage anxiety or stress. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and find internal reasons to change behaviors like substance use or unhealthy routines. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that can be tried between sessions to move toward clearer goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alice reviews goals and preferences with each person and adjusts techniques as needed. She treats the choice of methods as collaborative, checking in about what feels useful and what should change over time.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow quicker check-ins during difficult periods. Different formats can suit different needs - for example, phone conversations may work when bandwidth is limited, and video can support exercises that use visual cues. Discussing practical logistics is part of the first scheduling steps so sessions can fit everyday life.
