How Janice's Approaches Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people see patterns in their close relationships and how those patterns drive strong emotions. In sessions this looks like naming feelings and practicing new ways of connecting or setting boundaries.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm. Online sessions often include short exercises and everyday practices that can be done between meetings to build steady habits.
Janice treats the choice of approach as a team decision. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest ways to combine methods that fit best. That collaborative planning makes it easier to adjust pace, focus, and techniques as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options offer flexibility to fit work schedules, caregiving needs, or shorter check-ins between appointments.
