More about Alesia

  • 8 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker with 8 years of experience working with adults, young adults & elders. I am excited to work with you & come to my practice with warmth, empathy & understanding. Each person is a unique & dynamic individual with their own path. I believe in using a collaborative approach, non-judgmental and an eclectic practice style; to help you meet new challenges & reach your goals. I use an integrated approach to suit your needs borrowing from many therapeutic modalities including CBT, DBT and supportive psychotherapy. I believe that therapy should be a partnership that takes into account all aspects of a client's life. I use a holistic approach to ensure clients find solutions quickly. My belief is that therapy is much like climbing a mountain (or a hill) and that I'm here to walk along side you during this journey to help you along the way. I am currently practicing in Wisconsin and with International clients. I'm looking forward to learning more about you and starting our work together.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
