Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood-related difficulties. It often involves practical exercises and skill-building to manage distress and develop healthier routines.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s perspective guides the work; this approach helps people feel heard and supported while they explore personal goals and make choices that align with their values.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Alfaye works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to tailor sessions so interventions are relevant and achievable while adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other demands by providing options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to attend regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and stay connected with a licensed professional even when in-person visits are difficult. Alfaye integrates her therapeutic methods into these online formats to support continuity of care and practical progress toward client goals.
