About Alta

Alta Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people navigate major life changes and everyday struggles. She focuses on issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, and long-term caregiving strain. Her work is grounded in straightforward, compassionate listening and practical problem solving.

With 27 years in the field, Alta brings experience from both hospital settings and private practice. She has a Master of Arts in counseling and a Doctorate in Ministry, and she uses that background to meet people where they are. Sessions are meant to feel like a guided conversation that helps identify next steps and coping tools.

Her approach emphasizes clear techniques and the client's own goals. Alta draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in the room. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and solution-focused strategies to build short-term plans.

Aging and geriatric issues are included among her focus areas, along with caregiver stress and hospice and end-of-life counseling. She also supports concerns around relationships, parenting, intimacy, ADHD, body image, and seasonal mood shifts.

Alta aims to be practical and kind during difficult moments. People can expect direct, respectful conversation about goals, coping skills, and realistic steps forward. She offers sessions in English from her Michigan practice.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule appointments according to availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person and their priorities first. In practice this looks like the therapist following the client's lead, asking questions, and reflecting back what matters most to them. It helps people who need a listening space to sort feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and shifting unhelpful thoughts and routines. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood regulation by teaching step-by-step strategies and behavioral experiments.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Alta will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. That means adjusting techniques over time and checking in about what helps and what doesn't.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports ongoing work with elders, caregivers, and people managing health-related schedules without promising any specific format.
