How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Jessica often uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change them. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, and workplace stress and focuses on concrete steps and homework between sessions.She also teaches mindfulness skills to help reduce reactivity and to improve focus during stressful moments. Mindfulness exercises are short and practical, making them easy to practice in everyday routines. Distress tolerance techniques are another tool she offers to help someone get through intense emotional moments without making impulsive choices.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, explain why a technique might help, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful. Clients and therapist work together to test strategies and refine what fits best.
