Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Joanne integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s lead to explore personal strengths and values - it is useful for building self-esteem, processing life changes, and improving emotional resilience. CBT focuses on identifying and gently challenging unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress, making it well suited for clients seeking concrete tools to feel better in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Joanne collaborates with each client to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions so clients can try different techniques and settle on what feels most effective for them.
Online therapy with Joanne is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support without travel, and they allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that fit their daily routines and responsibilities.
