How Jacqueline’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person's lead and creating a supportive space for them to talk. It helps when someone needs a listening ear, wants to clarify feelings, or is deciding what matters most in a relationship or life situation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers hands-on tools to spot unhelpful thinking and practice different behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as needed so the work stays useful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also allow sessions that match a person’s comfort with video or audio and help keep momentum between appointments.
