Therapeutic approaches for online care

Jesse commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT often focuses on practical exercises and small experiments you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve sleep.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed action toward those values, even when emotions are difficult. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are primary goals, offering concrete tools to manage intense feelings and improve communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jesse will talk with clients about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and suggest a plan together. She adjusts methods over time so the therapy matches what’s most helpful for each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when visual cues help, while phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, practicing skills, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
