How Alice works
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. She has worked in many settings including in-office care, outpatient programs, inpatient units, schools, and in community locations. Earlier roles included personal care assistant, job coach, and direct service professional, which shaped a practical, skills-based approach to therapy.
Alice often helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship conflict, and big life transitions. She also addresses issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and body image.
In sessions she and the client work together to set short- and long-term goals. They try practical steps between meetings and review what works. The therapist’s aim is to create hope and promote steady progress while respecting each person’s knowledge of their own life.

Online support options
How therapy methods translate online
Alice uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice patterns of thinking and try small behavior changes that reduce distress. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and practical problem solving. She also uses dialectical behavior ideas and mindfulness to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and present-moment awareness; these tools help when feelings feel overwhelming or change is hard.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. Alice will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. The therapist and client decide together whether to focus on thought patterns, emotion skills, motivation work, or a mix of approaches.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people fit therapy into busy schedules. Video is useful for longer sessions and skills practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit quick check-ins or short coaching-type exchanges. These options make starting and maintaining therapy more flexible for different routines and needs.
