How Jean's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape present patterns. Online sessions look at how past attachment wounds affect current relationships and reactions, which can help with trust, intimacy, and abandonment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's goals and experience. In remote sessions this approach means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, creating a space for people to set their own pace.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jean will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize attachment exploration, client-directed conversation, or cognitive strategies for changing thoughts and behaviors. That collaborative process helps tailor online sessions to real-life needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video offers face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support and quick reflections between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, school, and family schedules.
