Therapeutic approaches and online care
Jill Sherwood uses several evidence-based approaches to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take committed action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be helpful for finding purpose and coping with life changes. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, and it can be effective for people managing trauma and related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jill works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, and then tailors techniques from these modalities so the treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, through live chat, or via text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, support people who live far from in-person services, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches effectively to remote formats to help clients progress toward their goals.
