Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Jessica Orndoff uses evidence-informed approaches to help clients build practical skills and manage intense emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors that maintain distress - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills to reduce emotional reactivity and improve relationships. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings, supporting clients who struggle with rumination, stress, or recurring negative thoughts.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jessica works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors techniques and pacing to fit what will be most helpful for that individual. This collaborative planning helps ensure that treatment feels relevant and achievable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in care, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, continue work from different locations, and access licensed professionals when in-person visits are not feasible. The focus remains on practical, skill-based work and a strong therapeutic relationship regardless of the communication mode.
