Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Joni commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when working with clients. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathetic environment in which the person’s own goals and values guide the work - it helps with self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. CBT is a practical approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it a good fit for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems. DBT provides concrete skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for mood instability, strong emotional reactions, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Joni works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment is paced and adapted so clients can learn skills and explore changes at a comfortable rate.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from one’s home or workplace. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, review progress, and support clients between sessions, making therapy more accessible and adaptable to individual lives.
