How Janice uses therapy approaches online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s priorities and builds sessions around what matters most. This approach helps people who want a respectful, listening-based space to sort through stress, grief, or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers specific exercises and small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety, lift mood, and improve day-to-day coping.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These tools can be useful for managing strong emotions or improving relationship interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and choose methods that fit those needs. That collaboration helps shape what happens in sessions and what skills are practiced between meetings.

Because this listing does not specify online session types, confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice to work well in remote sessions so therapy fits daily life.
