How Jeannette’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy starts by putting the person’s goals and perspective first. The therapist listens and follows what matters most to the client, which helps when someone needs validation and a steady, nonjudgmental space to talk about personal challenges.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on what people think and do day to day. It offers simple, practical exercises to test beliefs and try out new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Progress is checked along the way and techniques are adjusted together to match what’s working.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for longer, face-to-face conversations; phone can be a lower-bandwidth option; chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options let people fit therapy into busy days and keep continuity when travel or relocation makes in-person visits difficult.
