How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Jillian often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression symptoms, which can be practiced between sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes active listening and empathy so clients feel heard and can explore what matters most to them.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then try methods that fit their needs. Jillian checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on how well they work for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can fit into busy days and let people send thoughts between scheduled appointments. These options help make therapy more accessible while keeping the focus on your goals and progress.
