Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Janette integrates client-centered therapy, attachment-based work, and cognitive behavioral approaches to support clients in online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and respect - it helps people explore their own goals and build self-understanding in a supportive space. Attachment-based therapy focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and can be useful for addressing intimacy, abandonment, and relationship difficulties by helping clients develop healthier ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Janette collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as goals evolve to ensure a tailored and effective process.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice therapeutic skills in the contexts where daily life happens, while working with licensed professionals and therapists to move toward personal goals.
