Practical approaches delivered online

Jeanette integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR into her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing addresses trauma-related memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing to reduce distress from past events.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try methods that fit the person’s needs. Adjustments are made over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be an easier check-in when a quick conversation is needed. Live chat or text messaging supports shorter updates, written processing, or on-the-go check-ins between longer sessions.
