About Alta
Alta Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life transitions. She writes and speaks plainly and listens with patience. Her approach focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She provides encouragement without judgment. With 27 years of experience, Alta draws on work in hospital settings and independent practice. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a steady, respectful space where people can be heard.
How Alta works
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Mindfulness techniques to reduce overwhelm. Solution-Focused methods help set short-term goals and notice what is already working. Sessions are geared to each person's needs.
Alta helps people develop coping skills for anxiety, manage mood concerns like bipolar disorder, and navigate grief or end-of-life caregiving stress. She also supports people dealing with addiction, eating and sleeping problems, and challenges around self-esteem or body image. Her work includes helping with parenting strain, career decisions, and compassion fatigue.
She addresses practical issues such as communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and postpartum depression. Alta also brings experience supporting those working through trauma and post-traumatic stress. Alta practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, so people can choose the format that fits their life.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. In this approach the therapist reflects what someone says and helps them feel heard, which can reduce anxiety and help with grief and life decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and mood management.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alta will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try strategies that fit those needs. She tailors techniques from client-centered, cognitive, and solution-focused methods so sessions stay practical and goal-oriented. Online sessions offer flexible ways to get support. Video calls let people see facial cues and have a session similar to in-person work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is not desired. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style exchanges, or when a shorter, more frequent contact fits a busy schedule.
These online formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or treatment routines while using the therapeutic approaches she practices.
