How Janine’s Approaches Work Online

Janine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT supports building values-based actions so daily life can feel more meaningful even when stress is high.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT techniques are useful for anxiety, panic, obsessions, and mood concerns by giving concrete tools to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to choose or blend methods that match their needs, goals, and what feels most useful. Goals and approaches are reviewed as progress is made so adjustments can happen together.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or reduce the need to be on camera during a session, depending on the format agreed on. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and pacing to fit everyday responsibilities.
