Integrating Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Jessica Lemer draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic environment where the client?s own goals and values guide the work; this approach is especially helpful for building trust and exploring personal priorities in relationships and family life. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) is another key approach she uses for couples and relational work - it focuses on understanding emotional responses and improving attachment and communication.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jessica works with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress unfolds. Clients participate in setting priorities and deciding which strategies feel most useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage caregiving responsibilities, or access support from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent care in ways that match a client?s life and comfort level.
