Therapeutic approaches and online support

Jay integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into his online work to meet different needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values - it is useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns that form in early relationships and how they influence current connections, which can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and family dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and reshape unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns, making it a practical option for depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jay works collaboratively with clients to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. He will discuss options, try interventions together, and adjust the plan based on what proves most helpful.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules, people in different time zones, and those who prefer remote access. Working remotely can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while still engaging with evidence-informed therapies delivered by licensed professionals and therapists experienced in online formats.
