Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and letting the client set the pace and goals; it helps people feel heard and understood as they explore what matters. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches steps to change unhelpful patterns, which suits anxiety, depression, and many everyday struggles. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling conflict with others.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Janet will work collaboratively to pick or blend methods that match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape a clear plan for skill practice, short-term goals, and longer-term growth.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you see facial cues and do deeper conversation. Phone sessions may fit a busy schedule or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep regular contact and to fit therapy into everyday life.
