Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It helps people who feel stuck by shifting attention toward meaningful action rather than only trying to eliminate unpleasant feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is practical and skill-based, useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and work-related struggles where concrete tools can make daily life easier.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for managing strong feelings and improving communication. These techniques can be useful when responses feel overwhelming and when practical coping skills are needed.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Jenelle will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Therapy can be adjusted over time so the plan stays relevant to what is working and what needs to change.
Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use gestures and tone during discussion. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins or follow-up between sessions and can fit into busy schedules. These options provide flexibility to practice skills and get support in different formats.
