Online support

Emotion-focused and practical approaches for online care

Janet often blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral approaches. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice patterns in their feelings and learn new ways to respond. Client-Centered work means sessions focus on the person's experience and goals, with the therapist following their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thought patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Janet discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and adjusts methods as needed. She works collaboratively so the plan fits the person's life and what they want to change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people read facial expressions and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions are useful when less bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Live chat and text messaging work for brief check-ins, mood tracking, or short skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into work, school, caregiving, or medical schedules.
