Approaches and online therapy that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without fighting them and choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and replacing them with more helpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for handling strong emotions, reducing impulsive behavior, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. She adjusts the plan over time so the techniques feel useful and manageable, and she collaborates with clients to pick what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people talk face to face when schedules or travel make in-person meetings hard. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for a focused conversation. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, journaling between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives.
