Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Jessica uses approaches that focus on values, thought patterns, and attachment. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. This work helps people understand why they respond to closeness or stress the way they do and can improve how they relate to others. The Gottman Method offers practical ways to change communication and manage conflict for people working on relationship patterns.
Choosing a therapeutic approach happens together. The therapist will ask about your goals, what has helped before, and what feels manageable now. Together you will try methods that fit your needs and adjust approaches as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text-based messaging works well for ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep working on skills between meetings.
