Approaches to treatment and online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, and stress by building practical skills for coping and problem solving.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and goals rather than problems alone. This approach helps clients identify small, achievable steps to create change, making it useful for relationship concerns, life transitions, and goal-driven work.

Trauma-Focused Therapy provides targeted strategies for people who have experienced traumatic events, emphasizing safety, stabilization, and processing in ways that respect each person’s pace and resilience.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Janice works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they evaluate progress and adjust methods as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat interactions, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible, while allowing licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent, goal-oriented support.
