How Alfaye’s approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's unique experience. It helps people feel heard and gradually build confidence to make changes at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to test and change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Alfaye will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. She uses client feedback to adjust focus, blending strategies such as CBT, mindfulness, and motivational techniques as needed.
The therapist's profile does not list specific online session formats. Confirm the available formats before booking to know how sessions are conducted. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some formats may also be preferable when lower bandwidth or no video is required. Ask about current session options when you sign up so you can pick what fits your routine.
