Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Alicia Reno draws from client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment where the individual’s goals and values guide the work. This approach focuses on empathy, respect, and collaboration so clients feel heard and empowered to pursue meaningful change.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills to manage mood, anxiety, and everyday stressors. CBT often includes short-term, goal-oriented exercises aimed at measurable improvements.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, is used to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. DBT techniques can be helpful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing reactive behaviors.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic journey. Alicia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to engage in therapy in ways that fit their schedule and comfort level. For many, these options make it easier to maintain consistency and integrate skills into daily life while working with a licensed professional.
