Online support options
Approach-focused online therapy and practical tools
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when feelings are uncomfortable. It is useful for anxiety, depression, life transitions, and helping people stick to goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches concrete strategies to change them. It often helps with depression, anxiety, PTSD symptoms, and stress-related issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes skill building in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to reduce crisis moments and improve communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which strategies to try first and adjust over time based on what is most helpful.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face connection for in-depth work, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, progress notes, or when written reflection feels most helpful. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people keep consistent momentum between meetings.
