How Alyce works
Emotionally focused work is used when relationships and intimacy issues are the central concern.

She also supports those dealing with chronic pain, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and family-of-origin struggles.
Alyce pays attention to cultural differences and the specific needs that come with them. In sessions she helps people manage feelings like shame, guilt, isolation, anger, and low self-esteem. She offers tools for coping, relapse prevention for process and substance addictions, and strategies for career and life-purpose questions.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Alyce uses cognitive behavioral therapy in many sessions to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try alternative, more effective behaviors. CBT is practical work that often includes short exercises between meetings and can fit well into video or text-based formats.She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values, even when emotions are difficult. ACT pairs well with mindfulness exercises that can be practiced during phone or live chat check-ins.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alyce will discuss goals, preferences, and daily realities, then suggest which methods to try first. She adapts plans over time so the approach fits the person's changing needs and schedule.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for families and workers with tight schedules. Video allows face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat can be used for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to practice skills, check progress, and fit therapy into a busy life.
