Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Alexa Wasserman draws on client-centered therapy to place the individual's values and experience at the heart of the work. This approach emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration so clients can explore their goals and make choices that fit their life.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more adaptive strategies. CBT is often helpful for stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and problems that benefit from practical skill-building.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Wasserman works together with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what will be most useful for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible options for connecting, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to continue work through life transitions, and to access consistent support when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions effectively across these modalities, allowing therapy to remain focused, practical, and responsive to the client's circumstances.
