Background and approach
In sessions she uses practical strategies from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She also draws on attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused methods when relationship patterns are part of the concern. The work is rooted in concrete steps people can try between sessions.
Dr. Jerideau aims to create a space where people can talk through what is getting in the way of feeling more confident and steady. She helps identify small changes that build toward bigger shifts.
Progress is shaped by the client's goals and pace. People meet her for short-term problem solving and for longer therapeutic work. She guides clients through skills for coping with life changes, building healthier relationship habits, and managing mood and anxious thoughts.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-driven action. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes because it teaches skills for staying present and moving toward what matters.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems with motivation or self-esteem.
Attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused work are used when relationship patterns or intimacy issues are central. These approaches help identify how early patterns affect current relationships and develop new ways of connecting.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they will try approaches that match the client's needs and adjust the plan as progress is observed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Live chat and text let people check in between sessions and keep momentum without scheduling a full call.
