Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Jessica commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered approaches in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, then trying practical strategies to change them. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep or eating concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people can explore feelings and decide on their own goals.

She also draws on elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and interpersonal skills when strong feelings or impulsivity get in the way. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try based on the person’s goals, preferences, and everyday life. This collaborative approach means plans are adjusted over time if something is not working.

Online work includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow flexible, ongoing support between sessions or a quick way to process an immediate concern. These options help fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical skill building and steady progress.
