Therapeutic Approaches for Online Sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them and then choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and reactions; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping problems. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the client's goals lead the work and practical solutions are developed together.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Janice works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss options, try different strategies, and adjust based on what helps the client make steady progress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and have a more conversational feel. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Messaging or live chat supports shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or flexible contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the work consistent and practical.
