Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Jay Cook uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take value-driven action - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and uncertainty. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early attachments influence current connection and trust - it can support work on relationship difficulties, intimacy, and abandonment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a non-judgmental, empathic environment where the client’s own insights and strengths lead the pace of change - it is useful for building self-esteem and clarifying life direction.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jay works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal style, and adjusts the approach as the work progresses.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible for people with busy lives, varied schedules, or who live far from in-person services. These options allow registered professionals and therapists to meet clients where they are and to maintain continuity of care across locations and life changes.
