Practical therapy approaches for online care

Janelle integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into an accessible online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and improve daily functioning, while ACT emphasizes values-driven action and learning to relate differently to painful thoughts and feelings so clients can pursue meaningful goals.

She approaches choosing techniques as a collaborative process, working with each person to decide which methods fit their priorities and preferences. Together they explore what matters most, try different strategies, and adapt the plan as progress and needs emerge, so therapy stays relevant and personalized.

Online sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for varied schedules and situations. These formats allow clients to access therapy from home or other convenient locations, maintain momentum between sessions, and use the communication style that feels most comfortable while working on grief, mood, and life transition goals.
