Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Dr. Jean Frank uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT emphasizes practical strategies and behavior changes that can be practiced between sessions.

She also employs Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying personal values and learning skills to live in ways that matter despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore relationship patterns and emotional bonds, helping people understand how early and current relationships shape reactions and needs.

Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process; the therapist will work with clients to select and adapt methods based on individual goals, preferences, and responses to treatment. That shared decision making helps tailor interventions and decide when to combine approaches.

Online therapy with Dr. Frank includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care across busy days and changing circumstances while supporting continued progress through regular contact and skill practice.
