Therapeutic approaches and online care with a registered professional
Jody works with client-centred therapy, which centres the conversation on the person and their experience - the therapist follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and support to help people explore their priorities and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another approach she uses to help identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviours; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness therapy is offered as a practical tool to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, useful for managing stress, emotional overwhelm, and recurring patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Jody treats that as a collaborative task. She works with each person to choose or blend methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and reviews progress together so the plan can adapt over time.
Online therapy with Jody is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and mobility. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions, access support from home, and continue therapy through life changes while working with a registered professional.
