Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Helen Jackson draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening closely to the client’s experience and creating an accepting environment so individuals can explore their feelings and values; this approach is helpful for improving self-understanding and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people and couples recognize and shift emotional responses that contribute to conflict or disconnection, supporting stronger attachment and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Helen collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining techniques as appropriate to support progress.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to engage in therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations, all while preserving the therapeutic relationship and focus on meaningful change.
