How Janet’s approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and still move toward what matters. It’s often used for anxiety, stress, and low self esteem by focusing on values and small action steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change those patterns. It’s useful for depression, anxiety, and mood symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships influence current connections and can help with intimacy issues and patterns of trust.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Janet will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and then try methods that fit. The plan can change over time based on what is helpful, and decisions are made together in session.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten commutes, or allow for a quick check-in during a break. They also allow consistent weekly work when travel or health issues make in-person visits difficult. Talk with Janet during the matching process about what will work best for scheduling and the type of session you prefer.
