Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take actions aligned with those values. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience, with the therapist offering empathic listening and support so clients can explore choices and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers concrete strategies to change patterns that cause distress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline will work together with each person to identify goals and test what methods feel most useful. She adapts techniques based on the client’s needs, preferences, and life circumstances so therapy fits the individual rather than the other way around.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people connect face-to-face when that helps progress. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and messaging allow short check-ins, quick skill practice, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other daily demands.
