Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Jill uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel anxiety and low mood. CBT sessions typically include concrete exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking between meetings.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. DBT skills are taught in short, practical steps that translate well to video or messaging formats and can be practiced in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jill will talk with clients about goals and preferences and try methods that fit their needs. She checks in regularly to adjust strategies and keep work focused on measurable progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face interaction and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Messaging and chat work well for brief check-ins, practice prompts, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and different day-to-day routines.
