How Alice’s Approaches Work Online

Alice uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts and body sensations without judgment; this can reduce reactivity to stress and support clearer decision making. Motivational interviewing helps uncover personal values and strengthens commitment to change by focusing on what matters most. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and quick experiments that people can try between sessions to build momentum.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alice collaborates with each person to identify what fits their needs and goals. Sessions begin with listening to current difficulties, then deciding together whether to use mindfulness exercises, motivational questions, or short-term solutions to guide work between meetings.
