Therapeutic approaches and online care
Josette commonly uses Narrative therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. That approach looks at how past events and current beliefs shape daily life and helps people notice new possibilities for action.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which pays attention to how close relationships affect emotions and behavior. This work can help people who feel stuck in repeating patterns with others. Client-Centered Therapy is another core influence, emphasizing a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the person's goals guide the work.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on changing thoughts and behaviors, exploring relationship patterns, or building emotion-regulation skills.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video is useful for a full conversation with visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can be a shorter check-in or fit into a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, childcare, or other commitments.
