Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Jacqueline draws on client-centered therapy to build a respectful, collaborative relationship that centers the client's perspective and priorities. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting clients as they explore goals and make decisions that feel meaningful to them.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for changing behaviors and improving mood. CBT is often useful for issues such as anxiety, depression, and coping with stressful life changes.

Dialectical behavior therapy - DBT - provides tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulsive behaviors. Jacqueline integrates these techniques to match the needs of each client.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jacqueline works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. She adapts treatment as progress is made and needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and connect with licensed professionals and therapists from familiar settings.
