Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jessica uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s priorities and pace. This approach is about listening closely and helping clients name what matters to them so goals come from the client rather than the therapist.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. CBT helps people try small, practical experiments to test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice physical sensations and thoughts without reacting immediately, which can reduce the intensity of anxiety or impulsive responses.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust the plan over time. Collaboration helps make the work feel relevant and manageable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation when schedules allow. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for quick reflections or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
