How online approaches and skills fit your life

Janice uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts that lead to distress. CBT often includes practical exercises, short homework tasks, and skill practice that translate well to online sessions. Client-centered therapy keeps conversations focused on the person's goals and lived experience, with the therapist following the client’s pace and priorities.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming. DBT skills are taught in simple steps that clients can practice between sessions, making progress measurable and concrete. Janice treats finding the right approach as a team effort and will help determine which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and comfort level as therapy begins.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible access. Video works well for skill teaching and face-to-face conversation, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option for check-ins, and messaging or live chat can support brief updates or ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to practice new skills in real time.
