Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Janice draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT to support people in online formats. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic stance and helps clients explore their own goals and values while feeling heard. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and developing practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety or low mood. DBT combines acceptance and change strategies and is useful for improving emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Janice works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so the plan fits each person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Janice is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to maintain continuity of care from their home or other convenient locations and to choose the format that feels most accessible for their situation.
