How Alane’s approaches translate to online work
Alane often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and trouble following through on goals.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches practical strategies to change them. CBT is useful for managing panic, obsessive thoughts, mood shifts, and stress-related habits.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels most useful and try methods that fit their goals and daily life. Goals and methods are revisited as needed so the work stays practical and relevant.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking. The therapist’s listed approaches translate well to remote work, and online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, or reduce the need to travel. Ask about session length and scheduling when you start the matching process to ensure the format fits your routine.
