Mindfulness and CBT in Remote Practice

Janet Ready uses evidence-based methods that translate well to online work. Mindfulness practices involve learning simple attention and breathing techniques to help notice thoughts and feelings without judgment - these skills can reduce reactivity and support stress and anxiety management. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical strategies to change behaviors and improve mood; it is often used for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and many day-to-day challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janet collaborates with each person to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so therapy feels personalized and practical.

Online therapy with Janet can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and choose the format that best supports ongoing work with a licensed professional.
