How Jay Uses Different Therapy Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and clarifies goals so the work fits their values and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps individuals untangle the effects of past harm and build strategies to feel safer in everyday life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jay will talk with each person about their needs, history, and goals. Together they decide which methods to try, and the plan is adjusted as progress and new issues emerge.
Online formats make this collaboration flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deep work and relationship-focused methods. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates, ask quick questions, or check in between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity when schedules change.
