How Jessica’s approaches fit into online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting back what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs to make sense of a life change or figure out next steps and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change unhelpful patterns. It often includes concrete exercises to try between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal skills. It can be useful for people dealing with intense emotions, relationship conflict, or self-destructive patterns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative task. Jessica will work with clients to identify goals and pick methods that fit those goals and personal preferences. That means starting with practical concerns and adjusting tools as progress is reviewed.
