Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Jessica commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while exploring their goals and values. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.
She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their motivation for change and to build practical steps toward goals; this approach is especially helpful for clients who feel uncertain or ambivalent about making changes. Jessica approaches treatment as a collaborative process - she works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than following a single prescribed path.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to connect from different locations, schedule appointments that fit busy lives, and continue work between sessions as needed. Jessica and other licensed professionals use these formats to adapt therapy to each client’s lifestyle and therapeutic goals.
