Online session options
How Jana’s approaches translate to online therapy
Jana uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves, noticing patterns and creating new meanings for difficult experiences like grief or relationship strain. Client-Centered Therapy guides sessions with empathy and acceptance, allowing clients to set the pace and topics while the therapist reflects and supports their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers clear tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jana will work with each person to blend methods based on their goals, comfort level, and daily life. Together they decide whether to focus on telling and reshaping personal narratives, building coping skills, or practicing behavioral changes that make everyday life easier.
Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls let visual cues guide conversations and deeper work, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins or short coaching-style support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain ongoing momentum between sessions.
