Online approaches and adapting therapy to your life

Dr. Curllin Alexis draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people in changing patterns that cause distress and in building a values-driven life. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to manage symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. ACT helps clients clarify what matters to them and learn acceptance and mindful action strategies when facing difficult emotions.

She also integrates Attachment-Based perspectives to explore how early and current relationship patterns shape intimacy, communication, and trust. This approach can be useful for those wrestling with abandonment, attachment wounds, or recurring conflicts in relationships. Throughout online work she partners with clients to determine which combination of approaches fits their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities, making adjustments as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from their home or workplace, maintain continuity during transitions, and choose formats that best support ongoing practice and follow-up between meetings.
