Online session options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Jill commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the way they tell their life story, separating them from problems and creating space for new possibilities. Narrative work can help with identity, relationship patterns, and major life shifts.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action rather than trying to eliminate difficult feelings. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another part of her toolkit, offering clear exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns for mood, anger, or addictive behavior.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jill will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and everyday constraints. Together they’ll try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy lets people access these approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone can fit into a short break or lower bandwidth situations, and chat or text supports quick check-ins and ongoing prompts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or long-distance arrangements while keeping focus on the work itself.
