Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Joyce draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to support emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship strains. Additionally, she uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) techniques to explore attachment patterns and strengthen emotional bonds in couples and families, supporting deeper connection and repair.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Joyce works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods over time so treatment remains aligned with what the client hopes to achieve.
Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations. These formats support continuity of care and allow therapists to provide consistent, goal-oriented work even when in-person meetings are not possible.
