Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Joanne draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and trauma-focused approaches to support people in an online setting. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the client’s perspective guides the work - this approach helps when someone needs a safe, accepting space to explore feelings and identity. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it can be effective for managing anxiety, stress, mood difficulties, and establishing practical coping strategies. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in a paced way that reduces distress while building resilience and coping skills.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Joanne works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and will tailor methods and pacing accordingly so the work feels appropriate and manageable.
Online therapy with Joanne is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility around work, caregiving, and mobility. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and fit sessions into busy schedules while still receiving structured therapeutic support from a licensed professional.
