How Jessica's Approaches Work Online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current reactions and patterns. Online sessions can explore those patterns through conversation and exercises to support healthier connections and emotion regulation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions clients learn concrete techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors between meetings to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skill training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills translate well to video or chat sessions and are useful for managing strong emotions and improving communication.
Finding the best approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust plans as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins, homework review, or coaching-style support easier to fit into a busy schedule.
