Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an accepting, non-judgmental stance in which the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports personal growth; it is often helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem work, and exploration of life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to change them - it is commonly used for stress, anxiety, social phobia, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jana works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods align best with their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they evaluate what feels most helpful and adjust the plan over time to match progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to access support from different locations. These options help clients maintain continuity of care, try brief check-ins when needed, and choose the format that best supports their comfort and daily life.
