Therapeutic approaches and online care
Janita integrates several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports commitment to actions that align with personal values - useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression, panic, and mood disorders. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so clients can explore their experience and build self-directed solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Janita works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best based on their goals, preferences, and what emerges in early sessions. This collaborative process makes it easier to adjust techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling and allow people to access consistent support from licensed professionals from the places that work best for them. These options can make it easier to maintain momentum in treatment while balancing daily responsibilities.
