Approaches and online options for hands-on change
Janita often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage intense feelings and take practical steps forward. ACT focuses on clarifying values and accepting difficult thoughts so clients can act consistently with what matters to them. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms and build better routines.She treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try strategies, and adjust methods together based on what works and what feels right. This lets the client shape their own plan and take ownership of progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and working through exercises. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is low or a camera isn’t convenient. Live chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to use around work, family, and daily routines.
