Online Support and Therapeutic Approaches
Jessica Townsend combines established therapies to offer practical online support that fits into busy lives. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathic environment where clients lead the pace of change and explore what matters most to them - it is well suited to issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns through structured techniques and practical exercises, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, which can be helpful for intimacy issues, relationship difficulties, and trauma-related concerns.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the problem areas to find the most suitable methods, and adjustments can be made as the therapeutic relationship develops. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend approaches to match each person's needs.
Online therapy with Jessica is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and for people who prefer different communication styles. This format can make it easier to access regular support while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
