Approaches that guide online work

Jillanne commonly uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also works with mindfulness techniques to increase emotional awareness and calm for everyday life. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used when processing traumatic memories feels appropriate and a person is ready to do that work.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jillanne discusses goals and preferences and then suggests strategies to try. She adjusts methods over time based on what is most helpful for each person.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Many clients find online work useful for fitting sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It can make it easier to have shorter check-ins on a busy day or to use techniques together in real life between meetings. Licensed professionals tailor session plans so therapy fits into everyday life while focusing on the concerns that brought you in.
