Therapeutic approaches for online work
Jana commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match their values, even when difficult feelings are present.She combines those approaches with Client-Centered and Attachment-Based ideas when relationships and emotional connection matter. The therapist will work collaboratively to find the best mix of approaches for each person. Together they set goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow quick reflections, homework support, or more frequent touch points between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and busy schedules.
