Evidence-based approaches and how they fit online
Janet draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that teach clear skills people can use between sessions. One common approach focuses on coping skills and behavior change, teaching practical strategies for managing anxiety, panic, and mood swings. These strategies often include breathing and grounding exercises, activity planning, and stepwise goal setting to reduce overwhelm.Another approach emphasizes structure and routine for attention and ADHD-related challenges. This involves creating manageable schedules, organizing tasks into small steps, and building consistent habits that support focus and daily functioning. These methods are concrete and lend themselves well to measurable progress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients participate in choosing which tools to keep and which to adapt to their life.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for this work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared screen tools for planning. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick coaching, tracking small wins, and staying connected between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping focus on usable skills and steady progress.
