How Janeka’s Approaches Work Online
Janeka combines Narrative Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that translate well to online work. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problems by rewriting the stories they tell about their lives; it can be useful for shifting perspective and finding new options. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and empathy to help clients feel understood and to encourage their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practices small, testable changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Janeka will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily realities, then suggest methods to try together. She adjusts the plan over time based on what helps and what doesn’t, so clients remain part of the decision making.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer practical flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, chat can be a quick way to check in, and messaging supports short updates or between-session coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy days while keeping the focus on clear goals and usable strategies.
