Evidence-based approaches for online care

Jamie commonly uses cognitive-behavioral techniques, which focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and sleep difficulties. These techniques break problems into manageable steps and teach practical skills to use between sessions.

She also uses emotion-focused work, which helps people notice and name emotional patterns and learn ways to process difficult feelings. This approach can be useful for grief, relationship or intimacy-related struggles, and when strong emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Jamie works with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so the work stays relevant and doable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or be easier when video isn’t an option. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter updates, more frequent contact, or an option for people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or other commitments while still getting consistent help.
