How cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness work in online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. In practice this often means working on skills like problem solving, behavioral experiments, and coping strategies to address anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy centers on learning present-moment awareness through simple practices that help people notice thoughts and sensations without reacting to them. This approach can support emotion regulation, reduce rumination, and complement work on trauma, anger, or addictive urges.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Jerra collaborates with each client to determine what fits best. She draws on CBT and mindfulness tools and adapts techniques to match a person’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, so the plan evolves together rather than being imposed.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home, balance treatment with work and family life, and continue steady progress even when in-person visits are not possible.
