Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Jake primarily draws on client-centered therapy, an approach that centers the person and emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration to help people explore their feelings and build self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT involves identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood, and habit-related concerns and offers practical strategies to manage symptoms. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, which can be especially helpful for addictions and lifestyle shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Jake works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts plans over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online sessions offer flexibility - clients can meet by video call, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging depending on what suits them. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access support from different locations, and maintain continuity of care even when schedules change.
