Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions by building psychological flexibility and practical habits that align with what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT offers concrete skills for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and impulsivity, and it often includes homework and skill practice between sessions.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities. This approach supports self-exploration, improved self-esteem, and stronger interpersonal understanding.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jessica works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to best support progress.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different lifestyles and needs.
