Person-Centred and Solution-Focused Care Online
Jessica Rigby draws on client-centred therapy to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and respect for the individual so people can explore feelings, relationships and identity at their own pace and discover what matters most to them.
She also uses solution-focused therapy to help clients identify practical steps and small, achievable goals when change is a priority. This method is useful for managing stress, improving communication, resolving particular relationship or family concerns, and building momentum toward preferred outcomes.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jessica works with each person to clarify needs, goals and preferences and will adapt methods so therapy fits the client’s situation. Registered professionals and therapists often blend approaches to match what is most helpful.
Online therapy with Jessica is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which supports flexibility around work, family and mobility. These options make it easier to access consistent support while balancing daily responsibilities and can help maintain continuity of care when in-person appointments are not practical.
