Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Jill Skelton integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing into her practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathic, accepting environment that helps people explore their feelings and tap into their own resources for change - it is often useful for relationship, attachment, and self-esteem concerns. CBT offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping during life changes. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method designed to strengthen motivation for change and is especially useful for addressing addictions and ambivalence about behavior change.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jill works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time as the work evolves.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow sessions to fit into busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access support from home, and try formats that feel most helpful for the individual.
