Approach to Care and Online Therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client as the expert on their own experience and emphasizes empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard. This approach helps people feel heard and understood while they explore their values, relationships, and life goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop more effective coping strategies; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problem-solving around life changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Joelle works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines elements from different modalities when appropriate and adjusts strategies based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility and accessibility, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity when life shifts, and connect with licensed professionals from different locations. For many clients, this range of options helps sustain momentum and supports steady progress toward their goals.
