Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Jessica Beard uses evidence-informed approaches to help clients build skills and process emotion. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; it can help with anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress in healthier ways. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships to strengthen connection and resolve conflict.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic collaboration. Jessica works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as the relationship and situation evolve. This collaborative process helps ensure that treatment aligns with what the client finds most useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through multiple formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so sessions can fit into busy schedules and varied circumstances. For many people, remote options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access licensed professionals from home, and integrate therapeutic work into everyday life.
