How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Jessica frequently uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people learn to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without reacting. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, stress, and when emotions feel overwhelming. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns shape current interactions and emotional responses, which often helps with relationship and intimacy questions.
Client-Centered Therapy is part of her approach too, which means sessions are shaped by the client’s priorities and pace. Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process - Jessica will work with each person to figure out what fits their needs, goals, and comfort level as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that’s helpful. Talk with the therapist during the intake process about how you prefer to meet and what will best support your everyday life.
