Online support options
Approaches and online therapy options that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters most and take action toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, mood disorders, panic, and sleep problems. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, person-centered way to build motivation and resolve mixed feelings about change, which can be useful for addictions and ambivalence about treatment.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janita will talk through these methods and help decide which techniques match your goals, preferences, and daily life. The process is collaborative so clients shape the focus and pace of therapy.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when you want a deeper session. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let you send updates, ask brief questions, or check in between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or a busy schedule while still using ACT, CBT, and motivational strategies in the work you do together.
