Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Janita draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and it supports people in identifying values and taking steps that align with what matters most. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration, giving clients the space to explore their experiences and find their own solutions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and gradually practicing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Janita collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress and priorities evolve. The process is a partnership where the therapist and client decide together how to proceed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and maintain consistent contact with a licensed professional, all while tailoring the format to what helps the client engage most effectively.
