Her work also draws on dialectical strategies and EMDR when addressing intense emotional reactions and trauma-related symptoms.

Jonnie frames therapy as a collaborative process that balances structure with empathic listening, guiding clients to practical tools and long-term skills for emotional regulation and recovery.

Applying Practical Therapies Online: CBT, ACT, and Trauma Work

Jonnie uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and mood-related patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is offered to support clients in clarifying values and taking purposeful action even when difficult thoughts or emotions are present. For trauma-related symptoms she may incorporate EMDR techniques to address distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process; the therapist works with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current challenges. Over time the plan may integrate skills-based CBT work with acceptance-oriented practices or trauma-focused interventions as needed.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. This range of formats allows clients to engage in the therapeutic process from home or other convenient locations while maintaining continuity of care and access to evidence-informed techniques.
