Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care for Trauma and Relationships

Dr. Jackson draws on several evidence-informed approaches to support clients online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more adaptive patterns - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines skills training in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness - it can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and improving day-to-day coping. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and integrating traumatic experiences in ways that reduce their ongoing impact and restore a sense of safety and agency.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Dr. Jackson works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, by phone, through live chat, or via text-based messaging to fit varying routines and comfort levels. This range of options makes it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and engage in therapy in ways that work best for each client.
