How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Janet draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a creative approach to help people manage strong emotions and everyday stress. One approach she uses is structured talk work that helps identify unhelpful patterns and build concrete coping skills for anxiety, anger, and depression. Another element is art-informed work where drawing or simple creative tasks help people access feelings and try new strategies when words are difficult.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Janet will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. Together you decide whether more skills practice, exploration, or creative exercises are the best next step.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let you keep visual connection and do art exercises together when useful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or sight lines are limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make short check-ins and between-session support possible without a full appointment. These options make it easier to fit regular work on stress, anger, and relationships into a daily routine.
