Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Alissa Bell

Alissa Bell integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, helping clients explore their feelings and values at their own pace and build self-directed growth. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. DBT offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alissa works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and needs, then tailors strategies from these therapies to fit each person’s situation. She guides clients in selecting and adjusting techniques so the work feels practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around busy schedules, manage sessions from home, and use the communication format that feels most comfortable for each client. Licensed professionals can still deliver structured, evidence-informed care in these formats while adapting methods to suit remote settings.
