Online support

How her approach adapts to online therapy

Joye commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and change emotional patterns in close relationships. EFT focuses on understanding feelings and how they shape interactions, which can help with relationship strain, attachment concerns, and feelings of abandonment.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed action. ACT is useful when someone feels stuck or overwhelmed by difficult thoughts and wants tools to move forward. Client-Centered Therapy rounds out her approach by keeping the session focused on listening, empathy, and the client's own goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different places, phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break, and chat or messaging can serve as brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work during moves or travel.
