Therapeutic approaches for online care
Jamie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skill building and problem solving. One common approach she uses teaches practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing strategies, activity planning, and stepwise exposure to feared situations. These methods help people reduce day-to-day overwhelm and handle triggers more effectively.Another frequently used approach focuses on mood regulation and relapse prevention for mood disorders and addictions. Sessions look at patterns that maintain low mood or substance use and develop concrete routines, safety plans, and early warning signs to track progress. This work often includes short exercises to practice between meetings so change can extend into daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Jamie treats it as a collaboration. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, and then tailor techniques to fit the person’s needs and schedule.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short updates, coping prompts, or when someone needs more frequent, quick support throughout the week.
