How Jessica’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. The therapist helps people clarify their goals and supports their own problem-solving, which suits stress, relationships, and self-esteem concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It is practical and skill-based, helping with anxiety, depression, and social phobia by teaching ways to test thoughts and try new actions.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to boost readiness for change. It is helpful when someone feels stuck with substance use, process addictions, or habits like smoking and vaping.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to choose and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions for better day-to-day progress.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people have face-to-face conversation when they can. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflection, and more frequent contact between sessions. These options offer flexibility to match schedules and communication styles.
