Client-Centered Care and Remote Therapy Options
Client-Centered Therapy is at the heart of Jackie Chester's approach. This method focuses on the individual's personal experience, using empathic listening and acceptance to help people explore their feelings and understand what matters most to them. It is often helpful for concerns such as low self-esteem, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, and coping with life changes because it supports self-directed growth rather than imposing solutions.In practice, Jackie emphasizes a collaborative relationship where the client and therapist work together to identify goals and choose strategies that fit the client's values and pace. Determining the right therapeutic focus is part of the process - Jackie will help assess whether the client-centered approach alone is best or whether different emphases are needed based on symptoms, goals, and personal preferences.
Online therapy with Jackie can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, those who live far from in-person services, or international clients. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, adapt session formats to current needs, and access registered professionals from different locations.
