Her background includes two decades of working with people facing substance use and codependency, along with related concerns such as family of origin issues, grief around separation or divorce, and first responder stress.

Approaches that guide online work
Alice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address substance use and relationship struggles. One common approach is behavioral strategies that focus on changing patterns of action and impulse control; these techniques break habits into small steps and teach practical tools for everyday life. Another is trauma-informed care that helps people process painful events at a pace that feels manageable, focusing on skills to reduce distress and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjustments are made as progress is tracked. Clients are encouraged to share what works and what does not so the plan can be tuned over time.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list formats directly. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits the day. It can also let someone join a session from a quieter space or use audio-only options if video is difficult. Ask about current scheduling options and format choices when you complete the matching questionnaire to find what will work best for you.
