Background and approach

That plan can include short-term problem solving and longer-term skill building to handle emotions and daily demands. Alyce uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help people act on values even when feelings are hard.

Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used for emotional regulation and distress tolerance when needed. Sessions can focus on concrete strategies - like coping tools, communication changes, or routines that help with focus and organization. She adapts pacing and tools to each person's strengths and limits, aiming for progress people can see in their day-to-day life.

She practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English. People interested in beginning can expect a straightforward first conversation to outline concerns, set goals, and decide on session formats that fit their routine.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Alyce often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns in their thinking and try small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and practical problems that benefit from step-by-step experiments. Acceptance and commitment therapy is also part of her work and focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action even when emotions are strong; this can help with motivation, life changes, and ongoing worries.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, daily life, and what they prefer. Together they decide whether to emphasize skill training, values-based work, or a mix of methods and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for full-session conversations and skills practice, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, and live chat or messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework prompts, or when fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and flexible around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
