Approaches Jessica Uses for Effective Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-judgemental atmosphere where the person’s own goals guide the work. This approach supports people who need space to explore feelings, values, and relationship patterns without being directed toward a specific outcome.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours through practical techniques and structured exercises. It is often useful for managing anxiety, stress, and day-to-day difficulties that interfere with functioning.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to emotional experience and attachment patterns in relationships, helping partners or individuals understand and change the ways they respond to one another. This can be particularly helpful for those working on connection, communication, and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jess works collaboratively with people to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She discusses options and adapts methods as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and responsive.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to engage from locations that suit them and schedules that fit busy lives. For many, this range of options makes it easier to maintain continuity of care and to try different formats to see what feels most effective.
