Therapeutic approaches for online support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is commonly used to address concerns such as stress and anxiety by teaching practical strategies for coping and problem solving.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for regulating intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. It can be especially helpful for people who struggle with strong emotional reactions or self-harm urges.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and techniques for grounding attention in the body and breath. These practices often reduce reactivity to difficult thoughts and feelings and support calmer responses to stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacquella works with clients to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and will help determine which combination of techniques fits best for each person.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access care around work, family, or other commitments. These options allow clients to connect with a licensed professional in ways that suit their schedule and communication style.
