Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and behavior in current relationships. It helps people understand patterns around abandonment, attachment issues, and family-of-origin dynamics so they can form healthier connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for strong mood swings and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jessica works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts techniques over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels aligned with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions may be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, maintain continuity when schedules shift, and integrate therapeutic work into everyday routines.
