Online session options
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Many of Jeanne's methods focus on how a person's story shapes their choices and feelings. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by putting difficult events into a broader story and finding new, more helpful plotlines. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) blends accepting hard thoughts with clear action steps so people can move toward what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how relationships and early bonds affect current trust, communication, and emotional patterns, which can be useful for relationship and parenting concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals, preferences, and everyday life. That means trying different tools, checking in about what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Online therapy can make it easier to keep appointments around work, caregiving, or travel, and it can reduce time spent commuting. Since the specific session formats are not listed here, confirm current options before booking to learn whether appointments are by video, phone, or another format. The practical aim is the same: make therapy fit into daily routines so people can practice changes between sessions and track progress over time.
