As an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - she integrates these play-based methods with evidence-based techniques and coaching to help families identify internal resources and strengths.

Play-Based and Parent-Focused Approaches for Online Care

Alecia often uses Child-Parent Relationship Therapy to strengthen the caregiver-child bond by coaching parents in responsive, play-based interactions that help children regulate emotions and build self-confidence. This approach supports improvements in behavior and attachment by teaching caregivers practical ways to respond to their child’s needs.

She also employs play therapy techniques as a primary method for working with children. As a Registered Play Therapist and Child-Centered Play Therapist, she uses play to let children express feelings, experiment with solutions, and practice new skills in developmentally appropriate ways. These methods are commonly used for issues such as ADHD, anxiety, and high-functioning Autism.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alecia works with each family and individual to identify goals, preferences, and needs, and she adjusts techniques over time to find the best therapeutic fit.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats offer flexibility for caregivers and adults juggling busy schedules, reduce the need for travel, and make it easier to maintain consistent sessions while accessing licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations.
