Online session options
Online therapy that fits your story and schedule
Alane blends Narrative ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered work to address life challenges and emotional pain. Narrative approaches help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and notice other possibilities for meaning and action. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Client-centered therapy keeps the person at the center of the process, offering empathic listening and support while you decide what matters most.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, try different methods as needed, and work with you to find what fits your goals and preferences. This is a team effort focused on practical ways to feel and function better over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and fuller interaction. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can provide shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or a way to work through immediate concerns in words rather than voice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and varied routines.
