How Jenay Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes identifying personal values and taking small actions that reflect those values. It can help when anger, grief, or life changes leave someone feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to change mood and reactions; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities, offering reflective listening and collaborative goal-setting to build trust and clarity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try strategies together. That might mean blending techniques from ACT, CBT, and client-centered methods so the plan fits the person’s life and what they want to change.

Session formats and exact online options should be confirmed before booking. Ask about available ways to meet when you complete the matching questionnaire. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows using skills and exercises in the settings where problems occur, which can make practice more practical and relevant.
