Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It emphasizes identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward a meaningful life, making it useful for issues like anxiety, grief, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors, CBT can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress, which can be helpful for people experiencing strong mood swings or difficulty regulating reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Janell works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time as progress and challenges emerge. Online therapy offers practical benefits - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. This flexibility makes it easier to maintain continuity of care and access therapists when life is busy or circumstances change.
