Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapy

Janice commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as core methods in her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to build practical coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and self-harm concerns.

She also integrates client-centered principles, creating a collaborative, respectful atmosphere where the client’s goals and preferences shape the work. Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Janice partners with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and style of working together.

Online therapy with Janice 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 care from home or other convenient locations, while retaining the structure and support of regular therapeutic work.
