Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Janet uses client-centered therapy to place each person’s goals and values at the heart of treatment. This approach emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping people explore their experiences and choose paths that feel most meaningful to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learning practical skills to shift them - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, and can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. That collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and actionable.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow for consistent support across different formats, making it easier to attend sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain momentum toward personal goals.
