Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Janae integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice to meet a range of needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening without judgment and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore their values, goals, and emotional experience at their own pace. This approach is helpful for people seeking empathy, validation, and a supportive space to clarify life purpose and identity.

CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, or low mood and then developing practical skills to shift those patterns. It is often used to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, and difficulties with coping and self-esteem by offering clear tools and exercises clients can apply between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Janae works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts direction over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to connect from home or work and fit sessions into busy schedules. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care and try different communication styles to find what works best for each person.
