Approaches that translate well to online work
Jocelyn commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. CBT often involves homework such as tracking moods or trying small behavioral experiments between sessions.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach present-moment awareness and skills for managing stress and intense emotions. Mindfulness practices can be short and easily practiced during the day to reduce reactivity and improve focus.
Finally, Solution-Focused Therapy is part of her toolkit for people who want clear goals and actionable steps. This approach emphasizes small, achievable changes and measures progress week to week, which works well in brief online check-ins.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jocelyn will discuss options, try techniques, and adapt methods based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. She encourages feedback so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and full conversations. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and texting allow for brief check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing support between longer sessions. Together these options help people fit therapy into busy lives while working on anxiety, relationships, and trauma-related concerns.
