Online support options
Evidence-informed approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching skills to accept difficult feelings and take values-based action. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding; the therapist follows the person's lead and offers empathy to help them clarify goals and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to shift them, which can help with panic, obsessive thoughts, and mood concerns. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Janine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and daily life. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time. Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual connection for deeper conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care, fit sessions into busy schedules, and try different formats to see what supports progress.Start online instead of waiting
