Approaches for Online Healing and Skills Development

Jeanette regularly applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to work with trauma-related memories and the emotional responses they evoke, helping people process distressing experiences. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is employed when emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance skills are needed, which can be especially helpful for mood instability and addictive behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jeanette collaborates with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and adjusts methods over time so the work remains practical and aligned with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and for managing treatment around work, family, and daily responsibilities. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and allow therapy to fit into real-life routines while maintaining a focus on skill-building and recovery.
