04Online support
How her approaches work online and in session
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths and creates space for honest conversation. It helps when someone needs empathy, clarity about values, or a steady place to process big feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete tools for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and coping with life changes by testing small behavior changes and tracking results.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Joanne will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether to lean more on person-centered listening, CBT skills, or a mix of both.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or for lower bandwidth. Live chat and texting are useful for quick check-ins, exercises between sessions, or when messaging feels easier than a call. These options aim to make ongoing care more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
