Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Barbara Jones integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy into her online practice to meet a range of needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s priorities guide the work and personal insight is encouraged. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and practical problem solving. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance techniques that can reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Barbara works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from different approaches as appropriate and discusses options so clients feel involved in planning their care.

Online therapy with Barbara is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people juggling work, family, or other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact with a licensed professional and to access support from home or on the go, while allowing practical scheduling and consistent progress toward goals.
