Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Junetta Watson commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) alongside client-centered techniques to address a wide range of concerns. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and addiction. ACT emphasizes accepting difficult internal experiences while clarifying personal values and committing to actions that support a meaningful life, which can help with trauma recovery, chronic stress, and motivation. Client-centered work creates a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to build insight and self-directed growth.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Junetta collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adapts techniques over time and blends approaches as needed so therapy remains practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation when in-person meetings are not possible, phone sessions provide a simpler connection option, and live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins and ongoing skill practice. These formats give clients flexibility to access licensed professionals and continue care from locations that work for them.
