Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Jill uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered work means sessions focus on the person’s concerns and goals, with the therapist listening carefully and following the client's pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. Jill will discuss what feels most useful, try approaches that match goals, and adjust methods based on how things are going. The work is collaborative and tailored to each person's needs and preferences.
Online therapy lets people meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone calls can fit into a busy day and need less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can be used for quick check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to fit therapy into daily life.
