04Online support
Using Client-Centered and Skills-Based Approaches Online
Jacquelyn often blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people feel understood so they can explore concerns at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy adds practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and actions that feed anxiety or depression.She may also draw on Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to teach emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings. Each approach has a clear aim: Client-Centered work creates a safe, respectful space, CBT targets patterns that keep problems going, and DBT builds concrete tools to tolerate distress.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Decisions are based on what the client prefers and what seems to help in early sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life is unpredictable.
