Approaches that inform online therapy and how they help

Jane draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered principles to guide online work. ACT helps people clarify what matters most to them and develop practical ways to act on those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and building new skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood difficulties. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, giving clients space to explore their experiences while feeling understood and supported by a therapist.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jane works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors strategies over time and invites feedback so the work remains aligned with each person’s priorities.

Online therapy with Jane is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals without disrupting daily responsibilities, and they allow therapy to continue even when in-person visits are not practical.
