Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Jorie uses approaches that center relationships, personal meaning, and practical skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds and attachment patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses; this work can be helpful for people managing intimacy issues, codependency, or attachment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s goals and perspective guide the work; it is useful for building self-esteem, exploring life purpose, and processing transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing concrete strategies to change them; CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Jorie collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and insight emerge. This collaborative orientation helps tailor care to individual circumstances while keeping practical goals in view.

Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter exchanges can happen through live chat or text-based messaging.
