Therapeutic approaches for online care

Jenise blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping the person set their own goals, which can be useful for people feeling overwhelmed or uncertain. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills for change, often used for anxiety, depression, and anger. Dialectical behavior therapy adds emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills to help when feelings feel intense.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jenise will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels helpful. Together they pick techniques and a pace that match what the person wants to work on, and they adjust the plan as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online sessions can reduce travel time and make it simpler to attend during a work break or between activities.
