Evidence-based approaches and online care

Jeanette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people make steady changes. One common approach focuses on practical coping skills and emotional regulation, teaching simple strategies to manage anxiety, panic, mood swings, and intense reactions. Another approach targets trauma recovery by helping people process difficult memories and reduce their impact on daily life, with attention to pacing and safety for each client.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client discuss needs, goals, and preferences and then choose or adapt methods that fit. This collaborative process helps ensure the plan feels relevant and doable for the person in therapy.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people hold a longer, face-to-face session when more interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera helps someone focus. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick check-ins, shorter sessions, and ongoing support between appointments, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
