Online approaches that meet you where you are

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and supports new patterns of relating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following what matters most to the client. It helps people feel respected and understood while they find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt those methods as progress is made, keeping the plan collaborative and grounded in everyday life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions for lower bandwidth or hands-free check-ins, live chat for shorter real-time conversations, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and other commitments while still using the attachment, client-centered, and CBT tools that support lasting change.
