How evidence-based approaches fit with online work
Jacqueline bases her practice on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on addressing clear symptoms and everyday problems. Cognitive methods are used to help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; these approaches are practical and often involve trying specific tasks between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood.She also integrates trauma-informed practices to help people who have experienced abuse or overwhelming events. These approaches emphasize pacing, grounding strategies, and building coping tools so difficult memories feel more manageable over time.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jacqueline works collaboratively to decide which techniques suit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews progress and adjusts methods as needed so work stays relevant to what matters now.
