Online session options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Jacqueline uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice the stories they repeat about themselves and consider alternate, more useful stories. That work can help with identity struggles, shame, and self-image concerns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them even when feelings feel intense. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and avoidance patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try an approach, and adjust as needed. She encourages trying practical experiments between sessions to see what helps and will shape the work around what is most useful for the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video lets people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging can be used for quick check-ins, short coaching-style support, or between-session contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to use different formats as needs change.
