How Jana's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and life changes by focusing on committed steps instead of getting stuck on hard feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and teaches practical tools to change behavior and mood, which can be useful for anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns in relationships and how past connections shape current reactions; this can be helpful for attachment issues, adoption or foster care concerns, and relational stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences, and then shape sessions around what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process that can blend techniques from different methods as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversations. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or the person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins or a way to process thoughts between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
