Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Dr. Jill Palmer draws from several established therapeutic approaches to support clients in online settings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take purposeful action toward meaningful goals - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical skills to reduce symptoms of depression, panic, and mood disorders through structured exercises and reframing patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaborative listening so that the person feels understood and can explore their own solutions - it can be especially helpful for building self-esteem and improving relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Palmer works collaboratively with each person to identify the methods that best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. Licensed professionals and therapists can blend techniques to create an individualized path forward.
