Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Jacqueline (Jacqui) Taub draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy to support clients in online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and partnership, helping people feel heard and guiding them to find their own solutions for relationship, identity, and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and building practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address disordered eating patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-reduction techniques that can improve emotional regulation and body image concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jacqueline works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations while working on issues like anxiety, motivation, relationships, and young adult challenges.
