Online approaches that meet you where you are
Jacquetta commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy when working online. Client-centered therapy means the conversation follows the client's priorities and pace, with the therapist offering empathy and support to help people make their own changes. Cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing concrete skills to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress.She may also draw on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can help when emotions feel intense or when relationships are strained. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process; the therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit their needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging work well for quick check-ins or when a shorter, written format is preferable. These options help people fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
