How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and making life changes by focusing on practical steps. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so the client directs the work. That approach supports clearer goals and steady progress in day-to-day concerns. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how early family patterns and repeated relationship roles show up now. This can be useful when family of origin issues influence current relationships.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jan will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then recommend what to try first. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time based on what is or isn’t helpful.
