How her approaches translate to online therapy
Jaquay uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skill building and emotional processing. One common approach she draws on teaches practical coping skills for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and step-by-step behavior changes that reduce overwhelm. These techniques help when anxiety or depression make it hard to handle daily tasks.Another approach centers on processing past hurt and trauma in measured ways so people can move forward. This work often focuses on naming feelings, improving safety in relationships, and practicing new responses to painful memories. It can help with guilt, shame, and improving self-worth.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each client to decide which techniques match their goals and comfort level, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients and therapist check in together about what is helping and what needs to change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging are helpful for short check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to connect from different locations.
