How Joanne’s approaches fit online care
Joanne commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then act in ways that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behavior, teaching practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unwanted habits. She treats finding the right approach as a team effort. During early sessions she will talk with clients about goals, try techniques, and adjust as needed. Clients and the therapist together decide which strategies feel most helpful and realistic for daily life. Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and noticing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging are convenient for brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.Questions people ask
