Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Jeanine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and repetitive relationship problems because it focuses on concrete steps and homework to test new ways of coping.

She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. Mindfulness helps reduce reactivity and build calm when emotions feel overwhelming. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set short-term goals and identify specific actions that move a person toward what matters most.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Jeanine will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation often starts in the first few sessions and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging can be helpful for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when a shorter, flexible contact fits someone’s day. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical change and steady progress.
