Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Jill uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people tackle specific problems and improve daily coping. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills for managing strong feelings and improving relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jill will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then adapt techniques to match their needs. Over time the plan can shift based on what is helpful and what the client wants to work on.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are good for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
