Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Change
Janet Atkinson draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening deeply and responding to each person’s experience so they feel understood and respected - an approach that helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical model that identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches skills to shift those patterns, often effective for anxiety and depression. In addition, Janet integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when appropriate, teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for intense emotions or relationship difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. Janet works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors methods and pacing so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single technique.
Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible for people juggling work, family, or mobility limits. These options allow clients to engage in consistent weekly work, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals even when schedules or locations change.
