Therapeutic approaches and online care
Jody often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people set their own goals. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort through feelings and decide what matters most to them.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, and problem solving because it gives clear steps to practice outside sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is observed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial cues and do longer sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick skills practice, or people with tight schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to keep working on goals consistently.
