Approaches that guide online work
Jamie commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when working online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns in their thoughts and behaviors and try small experiments to change them, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying personal values and learning to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jamie will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest techniques to try. She works together with clients to adjust the plan if something isn’t fitting or needs more time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can work for brief check-ins, shorter skill coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
