Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Jane Collingwood draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them, clarify personal values, and take small steps toward a more meaningful life - an approach often helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. She also incorporates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns in relationships, address issues like intimacy and abandonment, and strengthen secure connections with partners and family members. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical skills for managing stress, mood, and daily functioning.Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. Jane works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts interventions over time so the work aligns with what matters most to the client. This partnership helps ensure therapy feels relevant and effective for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how care is delivered. Jane provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access therapy from home, manage appointments around busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when mobility or caregiving responsibilities limit in-person visits. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver focused, skill-based, and relational work tailored to each person's circumstances.
