Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Janet integrates a range of therapeutic approaches to meet individual needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and learn practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action - it is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and how early bonds influence current patterns of connection and trust - it can be helpful for intimacy issues, relationship difficulties, and healing from abandonment wounds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching skills to reframe thoughts and try different coping strategies, which is useful for depression and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Janet works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Together they adjust techniques over time to ensure the work feels useful and relevant.

Online therapy with Janet offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate mobility or caregiving needs, and maintain continuity of care when life demands change, while still allowing regular contact with a licensed professional.
