Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Jeannette Horton
Jeannette Horton blends client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness approaches to support people working through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and listening - it creates space for clients to set the pace and priorities of their work while the therapist offers validation and support. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and provides practical tools to change reactions and cope more effectively with symptoms such as anxiety and depression. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-regulation strategies that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional resilience, especially when facing grief, chronic stress, or trauma-related reactions.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Jeannette works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to tailor interventions so they feel useful and realistic for day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to engage in therapy from different locations and at varied times. For many, these options make it easier to maintain consistency and adapt treatment to busy or changing schedules while working with licensed professionals and therapists who focus on practical, client-centered care.
