Online approaches that guide practical change
Jodie uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or anger. CBT focuses on simple exercises and real-life practice to shift thinking and behavior.She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which teaches how to accept difficult feelings while taking actions that match personal values. ACT is useful for managing avoidance, stress, and painful emotions without getting stuck.
Finding the best approach is a shared process. Jodie will talk with each person about their goals, challenges, and what feels manageable. Together they choose strategies and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy life. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to squeeze short conversations into a day and to follow up with brief reflections between sessions.
These options aim to provide flexibility, consistent access to a licensed professional, and practical ways to practice new skills in daily life.
