Approaches that help manage strong emotions online
Janet works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people change unhelpful patterns and handle intense feelings. One common approach focuses on teaching coping skills for stress and panic; it helps people notice triggers, practice breathing and grounding, and reduce the intensity of panic attacks. Another approach emphasizes building self-esteem and emotion regulation through step-by-step exercises that practice new behaviors and thoughts over time.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Janet will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Together they review what is or is not working and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls let conversations feel closer to in-person sessions, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can work for short check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into work breaks, commutes, or days with limited time, while keeping consistent progress toward goals.
