Evidence-Based Techniques Adapted for Online Care

Jessica commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused brief therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Solution-focused brief therapy concentrates on practical goals and building on existing strengths to create change quickly, which can be helpful during life transitions and when clients want clear, action-oriented steps.

She also incorporates strengths-based approaches that emphasize clients' existing resources and resilience, helping people leverage what already works for them. Selecting a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process - Jessica works with each person to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring to therapy, adjusting methods as progress is made.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different needs and lifestyles. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow consistent access to licensed professionals and therapists from home or other convenient locations.
