Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Joanne integrates several evidence-informed approaches to help clients build skills and clarity. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values - it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning - it can be effective for depression, anxiety, and coping with change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills, which can support those struggling with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, or impulse-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Joanne partners with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds to find the best fit for each person. This ongoing collaboration helps ensure therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexible options for connecting - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to attend sessions from home or on the go. These formats can make scheduling easier, support consistent engagement during busy periods, and provide multiple ways to practice therapeutic skills between sessions with a licensed professional.
