Background and approach
Therapy draws on several approaches to fit each person’s needs. Cognitive behavioral techniques help break unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. Attachment-based ideas guide work on connection and trust.
Elements of dialectical behavior work and emotionally-focused methods help with intense emotions and relationship stress. Jaeron-Rae has three years of counseling experience and holds an LPC credential, practicing from South Dakota. They have worked with people managing trauma, dissociation, mood disorders, and complex life transitions.
Their background includes focused work with LGBTQIA+ clients and support for transgender people. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Expect clear steps, check-ins on progress, and adjustments if something isn’t helping.
The aim is to build skills you can use outside sessions and to help you move toward the life you want.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past connection patterns shape current relationships. Online work uses conversations to map those patterns and practice new ways of relating, which helps with intimacy issues, trust, and attachment wounds.Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what they hear, and helps clients clarify goals. This approach supports people coping with depression, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and build behavior that supports your goals. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and habit changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose and adapt methods based on goals, needs, and what feels useful. Plans are revisited regularly and adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to attend therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
