Approaches and Support for Online Therapy

Janet integrates evidence-based methods to help clients work through emotional and relational concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take actions that align with their values - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust, supporting work on intimacy, relationship issues, and healing from attachment wounds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and is useful for depression, anxiety, and mood management.

Choosing the most effective approach is a collaborative process. Janet works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt techniques from different models to find the best fit. This collaboration helps tailor therapy to what matters most to the client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, manage mobility or caregiving demands, and maintain continuity of care across life changes. Licensed professionals can provide meaningful, accessible support through these formats.
