Individual Therapy
Most people don’t come to therapy because life is easy. They come when something feels stuck—stress that won’t ease up, anxiety that loops in your head, or relationships that feel harder than they should. You might find yourself ruminating over decisions, replaying conversations, or second-guessing yourself so often that nothing feels clear anymore. Therapy is where you can finally lay all that out and start building a path forward.
Our Approach
At Modern Therapy Alliance, individual therapy is both conversational and concrete. We make space for honesty, but we’re also direct about what isn’t working. The key difference is our approach: we’re not generalists, and we don’t squeeze every client into the same model. Instead, we tailor therapy to you, blending Internal Family Systems (IFS), narrative therapy, and relational work with proven, evidence-based tools like CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (dialectical behavior therapy), and ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy).
Tailored and Flexible
That flexibility matters. Life doesn’t hand out problems in neat categories, and therapy shouldn’t either. If you need emotional regulation skills, DBT gives you tools. If intrusive thoughts keep you trapped, CBT and ACT offer strategies. If old stories or inner conflicts are holding you back, narrative therapy and IFS help rewrite how you see yourself. We adjust the mix to fit your exact needs so you don’t just talk—you make real progress.
Consistency Across Services
This philosophy is not limited to individual sessions. It’s the general foundation that informs all our services. Whether you’re exploring couples counseling, parenting support, or a specific life transition, you can expect the same balance of conversation, feedback, and tailored modalities. And if you don’t see your exact concern listed elsewhere on our site, you can feel confident that the principles of our approach—direct, flexible, evidence-based—will carry through every service we offer.
The Goal
The goal is simple: to help you move forward with clarity, grounded in who you are and who you want to become, without getting lost in overthinking or regret.
