Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Janet uses well-established approaches that translate effectively to online settings. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead - this approach supports relationship issues, self-esteem work, and exploring personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines acceptance with change strategies and offers tools for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive behaviors.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Janet works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. The emphasis is on partnership and practical steps that feel manageable.
Online therapy with Janet can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, coordinate sessions around work or family responsibilities, and access support from a distance when in-person visits are not possible.
