Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Jamie commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and often works well for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns because it focuses on clear strategies and experiments to change day-to-day reactions.She also draws on solution-focused therapy and narrative therapy. Solution-focused work emphasizes small, actionable steps and short-term goals to create momentum. Narrative therapy helps people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves so shame, guilt, or isolation have less hold over daily choices.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Jamie collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their goals, preferences, and situation. She will review progress and adjust techniques over time so the work stays helpful and relevant.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face-to-face when visual cues are useful. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing out thoughts feels easier than speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life rhythms.
