How these approaches translate to online work
The therapist draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and often includes homework like tracking thoughts or testing small changes in daily routines.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build actions that matter. ACT helps when people feel stuck by teaching simple exercises to accept difficult thoughts and commit to meaningful goals.
Jane approaches online work as a collaborative process. She will listen to what matters most, try an approach, and adjust based on how it fits the client's needs and schedule. Finding the right mix of techniques is something she plans together with each person.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, require less travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. People often find that working from home or a quiet spot helps them practice new habits in the settings where they live and work.
