About Ithaca

Ithaca Favor is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and shifts in self-esteem.

Background and approach

She frames clients as the experts of their own lives and concentrates on strengthening existing strengths to address challenges such as motivation, confidence, and major life transitions. Ithaca emphasizes the courage it takes to seek change and positions herself as a supportive partner in that process.

Her practice blends practical, goal-oriented methods with a warm, client-centered stance. This combination aims to help clients build clearer coping strategies for everyday pressures while also exploring the values and goals that matter most to them.

Over six years of professional experience inform her approach to issues like communication problems, workplace concerns, and questions around life purpose, self-love, and relationship difficulties such as commitment issues, infidelity, or divorce and separation. She also addresses concerns specific to blended family dynamics, body image, isolation and loneliness, and challenges faced by young adults.

Sessions are offered in English and are shaped to each person’s priorities, with an emphasis on collaboration and practical steps toward change.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online support

Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaborative listening, giving space for clients to explore their values and goals while feeling heard and respected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building concrete skills to manage anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem through structured exercises and practical tools. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation for change by exploring personal reasons and goals.

Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting strategies as the work progresses and checking in regularly about what is or is not helping.

Online therapy offers flexibility through multiple session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from home or another convenient location. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver skills-based work, reflective conversation, and goal planning tailored to each person's priorities.
