How Jeanette’s approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience at the center. The therapist listens, reflects, and adjusts the conversation to match what matters most to the client. This approach helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to clarify goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and workplace stress where changing thinking patterns can reduce symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily demands to decide which methods to emphasize. That choice can change as progress is made, and collaboration guides those adjustments.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins during breaks. It can also make it simpler to continue work on skills between sessions, so coping tools are practiced in real life.
