Online session options
How therapeutic approaches work online
Jill uses Narrative Therapy to help people name the stories they live by and consider different endings; this can reduce shame and open new choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small actions that match those values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Attachment-Based ideas focus on how early relationships shape expectations and help people build more supported ways of relating to others.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Jill treats the choice of methods as collaborative, adjusting based on each person's goals, needs, and what feels useful in session. She will talk with clients about options and try techniques together to see what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video is helpful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or text can be useful for quick processing or when writing helps you think. These formats give flexibility for busy schedules and for connecting from different locations.
