Online session options
Narrative and practical approaches for online care
Jessica uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and reframe the stories that shape their lives, uncovering alternative meanings and options for change. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions grounded in empathy and genuine listening, which helps people feel understood and more able to try new behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when called for, provides concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Jessica works collaboratively to figure out what fits your needs, goals, and preferences. Conversations begin with your story, and together you’ll decide whether to focus on skills, story work, or a mix of methods that feels right.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work or family life, allow shorter check-ins by message, and reduce travel time. Video works well for in-depth conversations, phone can be lower-bandwidth, and messaging suits quick reflections or ongoing support between sessions.
