How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Jeanie often uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy when helping people online. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely, reflecting what matters to a person, and building trust so they can name goals and try changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers clear tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jeanie will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and circumstances. Together they set priorities, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful.
