Evidence-informed approaches for online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive patterns. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used to address stress, anxiety, low mood, and specific parenting or family conflict challenges.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches skills to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgment and to return attention to the present moment. This approach can help reduce reactivity to stress, improve emotional regulation, and support caregivers managing ongoing demands.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that helps people clarify their own goals and find internal motivation to make changes. It pairs well with other techniques when clients are working through ambivalence about parenting choices, lifestyle shifts, or managing chronic health-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Jolona works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit consistent care into busy schedules and varied life circumstances.
