Approaches that guide online sessions
Jo Ann commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, and low mood. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people feel understood before making changes.She also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to teach simple attention and breathing skills that calm the body and reduce emotional reactivity. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process - Jo Ann will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then recommend ways to proceed and adjust as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for working through complex material. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy day or to jot down thoughts between sessions. These options give flexibility to match therapy to daily life and practical needs.
