Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Jillanne uses several evidence-based approaches to guide online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and develop practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused approach that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jillanne works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and specific concerns and then recommends strategies that fit the person’s needs. She adjusts methods over time so treatment remains practical and goal-oriented.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in care. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions provide an option without video, and live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from wherever a client is located within the therapist’s service area.
