Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Jo Ann commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques when working with people online. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can clarify what matters most and set personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage stress.She often includes mindfulness practices to help calm attention and increase moment-to-moment awareness. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with strong emotions. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss options with the client and adjust the approach based on their goals and preferences.
