04Online support
Practical approaches for online support
Jean uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying small behavior changes to see what improves anxiety, mood, or relationship reactions.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple awareness skills. Mindfulness practices help reduce reactivity, improve focus, and make it easier to cope with grief, stress, and persistent worry.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels workable. Together they decide whether CBT, mindfulness, or a mix will be the best path forward and adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face to face when deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, homework reviews, or quick coping reminders between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules.
