How Janet Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Janet often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression by building new, practical habits. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, which is useful for grief, life changes, and caregiver stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janet treats therapy as a collaborative process and will discuss different methods to decide what fits a client's needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress or new concerns appear.
Confirm current session options before booking to know how sessions are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity during times of change. Discussing practical preferences ahead of time helps ensure sessions match everyday routines and responsibilities.
