How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions that align with those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework. It often helps with anxiety, mood concerns, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental listening stance and supports people as they find their own solutions and build self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jackie will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She mixes techniques as needed and checks in regularly to make sure the plan is helpful and realistic.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are good for brief check-ins, skill practice, or fitting a session into a busy day. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
